Dangerous Goods Are Found Inside Everyday Objects
Our lookup table may be helpful to ascertain whether the goods you wish to ship could be classified as dangerous.
Our lookup table may be helpful to ascertain whether the goods you wish to ship could be classified as dangerous.
Sometimes even the most innocent-looking product may be classified as Dangerous Goods due to 'hidden' components or the transit materials in which it's packed for shipping.
We have created this helpful lookup table as an initial check, one that may highlight if your local or international shipment could be regarded as dangerous. This basic lookup table is, by no means, exhaustive and if you are in any doubt you must seek clarification from an expert in the field to avoid unnecessary delays of your goods at Customs, ports and borders.
May contain explosives (flares or other pyrotechnics), chemical oxygen generators, unserviceable tyre assemblies, cylinders of compressed gas (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen or fire extinguishers), paint, adhesives, aerosols, life-saving appliances, first aid kits, fuel in equipment, wet or lithium batteries, matches, etc.
May contain ferro-magnetic material which may not meet the definition for magnetized material but which may be subject to special stowage requirements due to the possibility of affecting aircraft instruments. May also contain engines, carburettors or fuel tanks which contain or have contained fuel, wet batteries, compressed gases in tyre inflation devices, fire extinguishers, shocks/struts with nitrogen, air bag inflators/air bag modules, etc.
May indicate cylinders of compressed air or oxygen, chemical oxygen generators or refrigerated liquefied oxygen.
May contain flammable gases (butane, propane, etc.), flammable liquids (kerosene, gasoline, etc.), flammable solids (hexamine, matches, etc.) or other dangerous goods.
