由 lltx1822 Precautions for Shipping Dangerous Goods Internationally
Shipping dangerous goods internationally requires strict compliance with relevant regulations to ensure safety. First, correctly classify dangerous goods. Dangerous goods are divided into 9 classes, such as explosives, flammable liquids, and toxic substances, each with different transportation requirements. It is necessary to determine the class and UN number of the goods according to their properties. Second, use qualified packaging. The packaging must be corrosion-resistant, pressure-resistant, and leak-proof, and meet the standards of the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG) or International Air Transport Association (IATA) dangerous goods regulations. For example, flammable liquids must be packed in sealed metal or plastic containers. Third, provide complete documents, including dangerous goods declaration form, MSDS, packaging performance certificate, and classification identification report. These documents must be accurate and consistent with the goods. During transportation, dangerous goods must be loaded and stowed correctly, away from heat sources and food. It is necessary to choose a logistics provider with qualification for transporting dangerous goods and ensure that the transport personnel have received professional training.
