Sending dangerous goods

Shipments with dangerous goods require a Dangerous Goods declaration form to be filled out, signed, and handed to the driver.

For Express shipments and returns, the declaration is automatically printed with the manifest documents. If you create a return and email an Express shipping label to the sender, they’ll receive the dangerous goods declaration in the email.

For Premium shipments and returns, you’ll need to download and complete the IATA DG declaration. If you create a return and email a Premium shipping label to the sender, they’ll see a link in their email to download the declaration.

Shipments with parcels containing dangerous goods and parcels containing non-dangerous goods can cause additional delays to the shipment and incur unnecessary charges. It may be better to create separate shipments for dangerous and non-dangerous goods.

Shipments containing dangerous goods can’t be created via CSV import.
