What Are Dangerous Goods?
Some common examples of dangerous goods include flammable liquids, explosives, radioactive materials, toxic substances, and infectious substances. It’s important for anyone involved in the transportation or handling of dangerous goods to be properly trained and aware of the specific regulations and safety measures required. This helps to minimize the risk of accidents and ensure the safe transportation of these potentially hazardous materials.

It’s important to be aware that certain dangerous goods are strictly prohibited from being carried on aircraft due to the potential risks they pose. These include substances that are prone to exploding, reacting dangerously, or emitting toxic, corrosive, or flammable gasses or vapors. While some dangerous goods may be permitted on cargo aircraft, others may be acceptable for transport on both cargo and passenger aircraft. It’s crucial for all parties involved in the transportation of dangerous goods to adhere to these regulations to ensure the safety of all individuals and the integrity of the aircraft.
Once you have obtained the MSDS for your product, you can refer to the transportation section to find the DG classification of your product. This will include information about which class (1 – 9. your product falls into, as well as its packing group (I, II, or III) and any specific packing and transport requirements. It’s important to have this information in order to properly classify your shipment and ensure it is handled and transported safely and compliantly.
Dangerous goods are classified into 9 distinct categories:
Class I: Explosives (excluding 1.4 fireworks);
Class II: Compressed gases;
Class III: Flammable liquids;
Class IV: Flammable solids, flammable items, and substances liable to spontaneous combustion;
Class V: Oxidizing substances and organic peroxides;
Class VI: Toxic and infectious substances;
Class VII: Radioactive materials (excluded);
Class VIII: Corrosive substances;
Class IX: Miscellaneous dangerous goods.
The strength requirements for packaging dangerous goods vary based on the level of harm they can cause, and are generally categorized into three different levels.
Class I The packaging meets the necessary requirements for the category of highly dangerous goods, as it provides the strength needed to ensure safe containment.
When goods are extremely dangerous and require high packaging strength, it is important to use packaging that is suitable for the category. This type of packaging should be designed to withstand the rigors of transportation and storage, while also providing adequate protection for the hazardous materials inside. It should meet all necessary safety standards and regulations to ensure the safety of those handling and transporting the goods. Using the appropriate packaging for extremely dangerous materials is crucial in preventing accidents and ensuring the protection of both people and the environment.
Class II The packaging is appropriate for goods in the medium-risk category that require strong packaging.
Class II packaging is designed for goods that fall into the medium-risk category and have high requirements for packaging strength. This means that the packaging is specifically designed to provide protection and security for these types of products. Class II packaging for goods fall into this category to ensure that they are properly protected during storage and transportation.
Class III The packaging is appropriate for products in the category of less hazardous goods and meets the general requirements for packaging strength.
Class III packaging is designed for items that are considered less dangerous and have general requirements for packaging strength. This category is suitable for a wide range of products that do not pose significant risks during transportation. The packaging is specifically designed to provide adequate protection for these goods while also meeting regulatory standards for strength and durability. It is important to carefully consider the specific requirements for packaging when selecting the appropriate category for your goods to ensure they are properly protected during shipping and handling.
The classification of the above three dangerous goods packaging categories is mainly determined according to the flash point of the goods. For example, explosives, flammable liquids, flammable solids, and other dangerous goods are classified based on their flash point, which is the temperature at which the vapors of a substance can ignite. This classification system helps to ensure that these dangerous goods are packaged and handled safely. It’s important for anyone involved in the transportation or handling of these goods to be aware of the specific requirements for each category to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of everyone involved.
The Essential Documents You Will Need
P1 Commodity Inspection Customs Clearance Form
The commodity inspection customs clearance form is required when foreign trade enterprises need their goods inspected by the Commodity Inspection Bureau to verify quality, specifications, quantity, weight, packaging, and safety standards. Not all foreign trade companies need this form; it is mandatory for important import/export commodities as stipulated by the state. Products requiring inspection can be identified using HS codes, with regulatory condition B or inclusion in the 2015 Hazardous Chemicals Catalog indicating the need for inspection.
The process involves submitting customs declaration documents, packing lists, invoices, contracts, and labels/photos of goods. For dangerous goods, a dangerous package certificate and GHS label are necessary. China’s import/export commodity inspection involves four steps: acceptance, sampling, inspection, and certification. Only after passing these steps and receiving a certificate or release note can goods be shipped.
P2 Dangerous Package Certificate
The Dangerous Package Certificate, essential for exporting dangerous goods, comprises two parts: the performance certificate and the use certificate. The performance certificate is straightforward and issued by packaging manufacturers, while the use certificate is more complex and requires approval from the local commodity inspection bureau after verifying the packaged products. Regulations and application details for the use certificate vary by location. The certificate is crucial for port supervision declarations, without which shipments are rejected. It is required for products like toner, nail polish, epoxy glue, perfume, sprays, lithium batteries, and lighters.
Necessary documents include the import/export record book, inspection report, product transportation condition appraisal report, MSDS, packaging performance inspection result sheet, and samples of goods and packaging. The certificate details UN number, CLASS, PG, product name, valid date, and number of pieces. Substitute documents like pot inspection certificates, limited quantity certificates, or ship’s classification certificates can be used for specific goods. Exporting dangerous goods mandates having a Dangerous Package Certificate.
P3 MSDS-MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)
The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), also known as the Chemical Safety Data Sheet (SDS in Europe), provides essential information on the physical and chemical properties, hazards, and safety measures of chemical products. It includes 16 sections such as product identification, hazardous ingredients, hazard identification, first aid measures, fire fighting measures, accidental release measures, handling and storage, exposure controls, physical and chemical properties, stability and reactivity, toxicological information, ecological information, disposal considerations, transport information, regulatory information, and other relevant safety details.
MSDS is crucial for determining suitable transportation methods, ensuring safety, and guiding proper handling and emergency response.

Identify the Dangerous Goods
The shipper’s responsibility is to identify and classify any dangerous goods that are going to be transported by air.
The shipper must ensure that any dangerous goods are properly packed before they can be transported:
1. Please identify all articles and substances that meet the criteria as DG.
For substances and articles that meet the criteria as DG (dangerous goods), it is important to carefully identify and classify them according to their potential hazards. This includes identifying substances and articles that are flammable, corrosive, toxic, explosive, or pose a risk to the environment. Common examples of DG include explosives, gases, flammable liquids, toxic substances, and infectious substances. It is important to handle and transport DG in accordance with relevant regulations and guidelines to ensure the safety of individuals and the environment.
2. Determine the classification of each item in DG by identifying which of the nine classes it does not meet.
To classify each item of DG, we can determine under which of nine classes it fails. Let’s start by analyzing each item and assigning it to the appropriate class based on its characteristics and failure points. This will help us identify the areas in which DG is lacking and where improvements can be made.
3. When applicable, allocate each item of Dangerous Goods to one of the three packing groups within the assigned class or division.
Dangerous goods (DG) are substances or articles that have the potential to cause harm to people, property, or the environment during transportation. These goods are classified into different classes and divisions based on their characteristics. The three packing groups within the assigned class or division are as follows: – Packing Group I: These are dangerous goods that pose great danger. They have a high potential for causing significant harm or damage during transportation. Examples of items that can be assigned to Packing Group I include explosives, certain toxic substances, and highly reactive materials. – Packing Group II: These are dangerous goods that pose a medium level of danger. They have a moderate potential for causing harm or damage during transportation.
