<\/p>\nKey Requirements in International Transport<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\nThe first step is to correctly identify the type of substance and assign it its UN number, hazard class, and packaging group. Any error at this stage can invalidate all documentation and halt the shipment.<\/p>\n
\nPackaging materials must be certified for the type of goods being transported and bear the official UN Packaging Mark. In addition, hazard and handling labels must be clearly visible and comply with international standards.<\/p>\n
\nThe Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD)<\/strong>, along with the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)<\/strong>, training certificates, and special permits, are essential to pass customs and safety inspections.<\/p>\n
\nAll personnel involved in the transport, storage, or handling of dangerous goods must receive specific, up-to-date training in accordance with the applicable mode of transport (ADR, IMDG, or IATA).<\/p>\n
\nWorking with freight forwarders and customs brokers<\/strong><\/a> experienced in hazardous materials helps anticipate potential issues and ensures compliance with regulations in all countries of transit.<\/p>\nLogisber\u2019s Commitment<\/strong><\/h4>\n
