03 · THE BASICS
What are dangerous goods — and the 9 classes
If your cargo can harm people, property or the environment in transit, it’s dangerous goods — and it must be classified, packed and declared to the rules.
WHEN IT’S DANGEROUS GOODS
- Flammable, corrosive or toxicOr reactive — anything hazardous by nature.
- A gas or under pressureAerosols, cylinders and compressed gases.
- Contains lithium batteriesCells, packs or battery-powered devices.
- It has an SDS / MSDSA safety data sheet means it’s regulated.
- Carriers demand a declarationNo DG paperwork, no acceptance.
THE 9 HAZARD CLASSES
- Explosives
- Gases
- Flammable liquids
- Flammable solids
- Oxidizers & peroxides
- Toxic & infectious
- Radioactive
- Corrosives
- Misc. (incl. lithium batteries)
04 · BY MODE
Dangerous goods, moved by every mode
Air, sea or road — we classify, pack and document your hazardous cargo to the rules of each, so it ships without rejection.
By air — IATA DGR
DG air freight packed and declared to IATA rules, with the Shipper’s Declaration.
By sea — IMDG
Hazardous FCL and LCL, with correct IMDG packing, segregation and the DG manifest.
By road — ADR-aligned
Domestic hazmat trucking with the permits and placarding the route requires.
Lithium batteries
Special-provision handling for cells, packs and battery-powered devices.
05 · THE DIFFERENCE
Classified, packed and documented — right the first time
Most DG shipments are rejected on paperwork or packing, not the cargo. We get the class, the box and the declaration right before it ever reaches the carrier.
Classification & UN number
Correct class, packing group and UN number for your goods.
UN-spec packaging
Approved packaging, filled and closed to the standard.
Labelling & marking
Hazard labels, handling marks and orientation, done right.
DG documentation
Shipper’s Declaration, SDS and packing certificate, complete.

Send us the product and its SDS — we’ll classify it, quote the compliant packing, and handle the declaration.
06 · PRICING
What drives dangerous goods cost?
DG carries a compliance premium — for packing, documentation and handling. Here’s what shapes your quote, all of it visible.
Class & packing group
Higher-risk classes cost more to move and insure.
UN-spec packaging
Approved packaging and inner materials for the goods.
Mode & restrictions
Some DG is air-restricted; sea or road may be required.
Quantity & limits
Full DG vs limited or excepted quantities.
Documentation & handling
Declaration, certified packing and special handling.
Special provisions
Lithium batteries, temperature or marine-pollutant rules.
One all-in DG quote — packing, docs and freight
Classification, UN packaging, the declaration and transport — priced together, nothing hidden.
07 · THE PROCESS
How a DG shipment runs
Four steps that get hazardous cargo accepted first time — classified, packed, declared and shipped to the rules.
Classify & assess
Pack & label
Declare & book
Ship & clear
Have a shipment that’s been rejected before?
Send us the details — we’ll reclassify, re-pack and re-document it so it ships this time.
08 · THE DIFFERENCE
One partner — certified, and accepted first time
A rejected DG shipment means a delay, a re-pack and sometimes a fine. We own the classification, the packing and the paperwork, so carriers accept it.
Certified DG staff
IATA & IMDG-trained specialists on every shipment.
Classification & UN number
Correct class, packing group and UN number, verified.
Shipper’s Declaration (DGD)
Prepared and checked so carriers accept it.
SDS & packing certificate
Safety data sheet and packing / segregation records.
IEC & PESO / licences
Import/export code and any explosives or chemical licences.
Customs & clearance
DG customs handled so cargo isn’t held at the gate.
DG handling, customs and licences from one team — so hazardous cargo ships on time, not stuck in a re-pack.
