Dangerous Goods Options We Handle
Hazardous cargo shipping is governed by strict international rules, IMDG for ocean freight and IATA DGR for air freight, and getting the classification wrong can mean a shipment gets rejected at the port or airport. We help customers correctly classify their cargo by UN number and hazard class before booking, so paperwork matches what's actually being shipped.
Beyond classification, our team prepares the required dangerous goods declarations and labelling, and coordinates with carriers on packaging, segregation, and stowage rules specific to the hazard class involved. This covers cargo such as flammable liquids, corrosive materials, batteries, and other regulated chemicals moving by sea or air out of Chennai.
Dangerous Goods Classification We Handle
We handle dangerous goods across all nine UN hazard classes, including flammable liquids and solids, corrosives, oxidizers, toxic substances, and miscellaneous hazardous materials, provided they are correctly classified, packaged, and documented under IATA (air) or IMDG (ocean) regulations.
Correct UN classification and packing group determination at the outset is critical, since misclassified dangerous goods can be rejected at the airport or port, causing significant delay and cost.
Documentation for Dangerous Goods Shipments
Every dangerous goods shipment requires a Dangerous Goods Declaration, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), correct UN packaging, and hazard labelling matching the cargo's classification. Our team reviews this documentation before booking to ensure compliance with airline and shipping line requirements.
