Moving chemicals is not like moving ordinary freight. Whether your product is a solid, a liquid or a gas, dangerous-goods (DG) movement demands the right classification, packaging and paperwork at every step.
Start with correct classification
Every dangerous good falls into a UN class and packing group that dictates how it must be packed, labelled and transported. Getting this right at the booking stage prevents rejected shipments, fines and — most importantly — safety incidents in transit.
Packaging and labelling
DG cargo needs UN-approved packaging rated for the product and mode of transport, with the correct hazard labels, orientation marks and handling placards clearly visible. Under-packing to save cost is a false economy when a leak can shut down a whole consignment.
Documentation and mode
Each mode — road, rail, sea or air — has its own DG rules and declarations. A shipper's declaration, safety data sheet and emergency contact details must travel with the cargo. An experienced DG partner matches the product to the safest viable mode.
