Hazardous cargo, handled by the book
Dangerous Goods
Batteries, chemicals, paints and gases all move under their own rules, and the rules change by mode. Our trained staff classify the goods, check the packing and labels, and prepare the declarations each carrier requires.
What's Included
Classification
Every product assigned its hazard class and UN number from its safety data sheet.
Packing checks
Packaging checked against the approved specification before collection.
Labels and marks
