Frequently Asked Questions About DG Shipping
What are the 9 classes of dangerous goods?
The UN system classifies dangerous goods into 9 classes: Class 1 (Explosives), Class 2 (Gases), Class 3 (Flammable Liquids), Class 4 (Flammable Solids), Class 5 (Oxidizers), Class 6 (Toxic), Class 7 (Radioactive), Class 8 (Corrosives), and Class 9 (Miscellaneous). Each requires specific handling, packaging, and documentation.
Is my chemical considered hazardous?
If your chemical has hazardous properties (flammable, toxic, corrosive, explosive, oxidizing, or radioactive), it's classified as a dangerous good. Contact us with your Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and we'll assess whether DG regulations apply to your shipment.
What's the difference between IATA, IMDG, and ADR?
IATA covers air transport, IMDG covers maritime/sea transport, and ADR covers road transport. Each has different requirements for packaging, labeling, and quantity limits. We ensure compliance with the appropriate regulation for your chosen transport method.
Can all chemicals be transported by air?
No. Some chemicals are prohibited on passenger aircraft and limited on cargo aircraft. Air transport is more restrictive than sea or road. Our team will advise on the best transport method for your specific chemical.
How much does DG shipping cost?
DG shipping costs depend on chemical type, quantity, destination, urgency, and transport method. We provide competitive quotes based on your specific requirements. Request a quote to get an accurate estimate.
DG Shipping Industry Insights
The Importance of Certified DG Handlers
Dangerous goods require specialized expertise. All personnel involved in DG transport must have proper certifications. At Airnet International, our team includes certified dangerous goods handlers, shippers, and coordinators who stay current with regulatory changes.
Global DG Shipping Regulations
International DG transport is governed by the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, implemented through IATA, IMDG, and ADR. These regulations are regularly updated to reflect new hazards and best practices. We track all changes to ensure your shipments remain compliant.
DG Packaging & Containers
UN-approved packaging is not negotiable. All containers must be tested and certified for the specific hazard class. Improper packaging is one of the leading causes of DG shipping incidents. We only use certified UN packaging from trusted manufacturers.
Chemical Compatibility & Segregation
Some chemicals cannot be shipped together due to dangerous reactions. Our experts ensure proper segregation and stowage to prevent accidents. This is especially critical for sea freight where chemicals are stored in close proximity.
Emergency Response & Safety Protocols
We maintain 24/7 emergency response capabilities for any DG-related incidents. Our personnel know proper handling of spills, leaks, and chemical reactions. We also provide Emergency Response Information in compliance with international requirements.
