Dangerous Goods
There are certain types of packaging, loading and quantity requirements that must be respected for dangerous goods before loading them onto a vessel, aircraft or vehicle. However much tighter regulations apply to such equipment when it concerns airfreight.
As stipulated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) certain commodities that are dangerous for the safety of the aircraft, passengers and crew, are in certain circumstances restricted and must be declared as dangerous goods.
All commodities accepted for airfreight must comply with all regulations related to such equipment, not only for the departing sector but also for the arrival formalities.
