HAZARDOUS GOODS, PERISHABLE, OVERSIZE & DANGEROUS CARGO

Shipping dangerous goods is a serious business. Dangerous goods, also referred to as “Restricted Articles”, are described as articles or substances that are capable of posing a significant risk to health, safety or property when transported by air (IATA Dangerous Goods Regulation, 42nd Edition, Section 1, 1.0 pg. 1). All dangerous goods must be declared and packed according to regulations. Most dangerous goods can be safely transported by air if they are in approved quantities and properly packaged and handled.
