We are engaged in offering Courier Services to our clients. These services also include packaging and delivering dangerous goods. There are many regulations and penalties associated with the movement of these products. The shippers make sure that articles or substances are not prohibited for transport by air.

Before packing dangerous goods for transport by air, the Shipper must:

• Identify, correctly and fully, all dangerous articles and dangerous substances within the consignment;
• Classify each dangerous good by determining under which of the nine classes it falls and, where relevant, determining any subsidiary hazards
• Where relevant, assign each item of dangerous goods to one of the three packing groups within its class
• Ensure that the documentation, which accompanies the shipment is complete and in accordance with IATA dangerous
