What Are Dangerous Goods?
Dangerous goods are materials or substances that pose risks to health, safety, property, or the environment during transport. These include:
- Chemicals
- Flammable materials
- Corrosive substances
- Explosives
Improper handling of these goods can lead to delays, fines, or serious safety issues. That’s why it’s crucial to work with experienced professionals who are fully qualified to manage these hazards.
General Requirements for Packing Dangerous Goods
Expert Industry Knowledge
Our team has extensive experience in the export and freight industry, which is why we’re proud to offer our customers high standards of expertise in dangerous goods handling and packing. We have trained personnel available at both of our premises, ready to assist with packing design, export documentation, and the labelling of your dangerous goods.
Whatever product you need to ship, we can help you navigate the intricate requirements of internationally recognised standards for shipping dangerous goods. Our qualified hazardous goods team is experienced in shipping in accordance with IATA, IMDG, and ADR regulations.
Packing for All Freight Types
Fully-Qualified to Manage Your Dangerous Goods
We have trained personnel at both premises, ready to raise and sign your “shippers declaration for dangerous goods”for air freight or “dangerous goods declaration” for sea freight.
The costs of mishandling dangerous goods, both in human terms and financially, can be vast. Consignments can be held up if the labelling or documentation is not done correctly, causing delays and unnecessary costs. However, following the correct procedure need not necessarily be expensive.
We have the facilities to pack your dangerous goods to meet industry regulations and ensure the process runs smoothly. You can trust us to provide peace of mind when it comes to transporting hazardous cargo.
