TRANSPORT AND
HAZARDOUS GOODS.

Reference

A surprising range of ordinary retail products are regulated in transport: aerosols, batteries, alcohol-based liquids, magnets, some cosmetics. The obligation to classify and declare them sits with the shipper, and undeclared dangerous goods is a serious offense rather than a paperwork slip.

What to know
Classification is the shipper's duty
Determining whether goods are dangerous, and in which class, belongs to the party offering them for transport. A carrier accepting an incorrectly declared shipment does not transfer the liability — it usually discovers it during an incident.
The products people do not expect
These move through ordinary wholesale constantly and are regulated in ways most of their sellers have never been told. None of them look hazardous on a shelf, which is exactly why they get shipped undeclared.
  • Lithium batteries, including those inside a device
  • Aerosols and pressurized containers
  • Perfumes and alcohol-based liquids
  • Strong magnets, and some powders and dusts
Air is stricter than ground
Air transport applies the tightest rules, and quantities allowed on a truck can be forbidden on a plane. A shipment that has always gone by road can be refused the first time it is upgraded to air freight for speed.
Training and documentation are required
Personnel preparing dangerous goods must be trained and certified, and the declaration accompanies the shipment. Both are checked in an investigation, and neither can be produced afterwards.
