What is Dangerous Goods Declaration?

A Dangerous Goods Declaration is required to transport hazardous materials to comply with regulations. It provides information on the shipment’s nature, handling, and transport requirements.

The shipper prepares the Dangerous Goods Declaration, which must be provided to the carrier before the shipment of dangerous goods. The declaration includes information on the type of dangerous goods, quantity, packaging, and the necessary handling and transport instructions. It is an important document that ensures the safe handling and transportation of dangerous goods throughout the supply chain. Failure to provide an accurate declaration can result in severe penalties for the shipper and carrier and pose a public safety risk.
