Dangerous goods shipments must always follow international safety standards and be supported by proper documentation. Any cargo that may pose a risk during air transport, such as batteries, chemicals or perfumes, should be checked and classified before shipping to avoid delays, fines or returned shipments.
Every dangerous goods shipment should be accompanied by a valid Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) issued by a certified party. The MSDS provides detailed information about the product, including its chemical properties, handling requirements, packing instructions and emergency measures, and is used by airlines and logistics providers to verify the correct transport conditions.
Dangerous goods must also comply with IATA standards, which define the correct packing instructions, hazard classes and United Nations (UN) categories for each product. Proper classification ensures that the shipment is packed, labelled and declared in the right way so that airlines can accept and transport it safely.
Batteries are one of the most common types of dangerous goods in international shipping. Any stand‑alone lithium‑ion or lithium‑metal battery must be treated as a dangerous goods shipment and supported by an MSDS that meets current IATA requirements. Items that contain or are equipped with a battery, such as laptops, mobile phones or tools, can often be shipped under UN 3481 (lithium‑ion) or UN 3091 (lithium‑metal) as normal cargo, provided they meet quantity limits and packing conditions.
Perfumes and other products containing alcohol are usually regulated as dangerous goods and should always travel with an MSDS and be declared under the appropriate DG class. Only if a product is specifically tested, documented and confirmed as non‑dangerous can it be shipped as a normal item without dangerous goods handling.
Any chemical, hazardous material or mixture should always follow the guidance in its MSDS and the relevant IATA classification for the correct hazard class, packing group and UN number. Shippers are responsible for providing accurate documents and information so that forwarders and airlines can prepare and move dangerous goods shipments safely and in full compliance with international regulations.
