The key documents required from the customer for arranging air transport of dangerous goods are the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which confirms the composition and properties of the goods, and the packaging certificate, which verifies that the containers (drums, boxes, etc.) are suitable for air transport of that hazard class.
Based on this information, the key document for dangerous goods air transport is prepared – the Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods. In this Declaration, the shipper confirms the correct classification of the substance, compliance of the packaging with all applicable requirements, and that the dangerous goods are fully ready for air transport. Together with the Air Waybill (AWB), the Shipper’s Declaration forms the core of the documentation package.
Special attention is given to labelling when transporting dangerous goods by air. The packaging must display hazard labels, information about the contents, and safe handling instructions. During cargo acceptance, the airport inspector will verify that the hazard labels on the packages match the information provided in the Shipper’s Declaration. Any discrepancy, however minor, may result in flight delays.
Our company is ready to advise customers at every stage of cargo preparation for air transport, helping to avoid complications and unforeseen costs.
