Not everything can just be thrown in a box. 'Dangerous Goods' (DG) include everyday items like lithium batteries (in laptops/phones), perfumes (flammable), and paints. Shipping these undeclared is a crime and a major safety risk.
The MSDS is Your Bible
To ship any chemical or battery, you must provide a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). This document tells the airline or shipping line exactly what the risk is and how to handle it in an emergency.
Specialized Packaging
DG shipments require UN-certified packaging that has been tested to withstand drops and pressure changes. Skypak Express has certified DG specialists who can check your packaging and labeling to ensure it meets IATA and IMDG regulations.
The Cost Factor
DG shipments attract surcharges and require approval from the carrier. Always declare these items upfront to get an accurate quote and avoid your shipment being rejected at the airport.
