Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods
Shipping hazardous materials requires more than just the right packaging. Every shipment must follow strict international and domestic regulations. At DGM (Dangerous Goods Management), we prepare dangerous goods shipments with accuracy and compliance in mind—from the correct packaging to the paperwork that supports it.
IATA Dangerous Goods Declaration
For air transport, the IATA Dangerous Goods Declaration is a required document that certifies the shipment meets all IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. This form includes detailed information such as:
Proper shipping name
UN number
Class and packing group
Quantity and type of packaging
Emergency contact information
Certification from the shipper
Mistakes or omissions on the declaration can lead to delays or refusal of the shipment. Our team at DGM prepares these forms correctly and in full compliance with airline and IATA standards. To give our clients added peace of mind, DGM carries a comprehensive insurance policy that covers our dangerous goods activities up to 17.5 million Euro. This coverage reflects our commitment to safe handling, regulatory compliance, and professional accountability at every step of the shipping process.
Shipper’s Declaration
Every Shipper’s Declaration must be signed by the person responsible for the shipment. This document serves as a legal certification that the materials are packed and described correctly. Shippers are responsible for understanding the nature of their cargo and providing accurate and complete information.
At DGM, we work to gather and verify the correct data and prepare the documentation, so the responsibility is supported by experience. This reduces the risk of errors, fines, or returned freight.
IMO Dangerous Goods Form
DGM New York and DGM Philadelphia are leading providers of IMO declaration issuance services. Our team of experienced professionals assists with all aspects of IMDG code compliance for dangerous goods transported by ocean, including classification, packaging, labeling, and documentation.
International Maritime Dangerous Goods IMDG
The IMDG Code is an international code that outlines the requirements for the safe transport of dangerous goods by sea. It is developed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a specialized agency of the United Nations.
DGM’s staff is knowledgeable in handling documentation and compliance for shipments covered under the IMO International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code. Our team prepares the necessary paperwork and ensures proper use of the IMO dangerous goods form for all classes of maritime dangerous goods. From containerized cargo to special permits, we work closely with shippers, freight forwarders, and carriers to make sure every shipment meets the latest regulatory standards for ocean transport.
