Controlled coordination for regulated cargo, supported by early review, clear documentation, and qualified handling arrangements
Dangerous goods require more than a standard freight booking. Accurate cargo information, compliant packaging, correct marking and labelling, suitable routing, carrier acceptance, and clear instructions are essential at every handover point. Innova coordinates dangerous goods shipments by air, ocean, and road, subject to applicable regulations, route feasibility, and carrier approval.
Before proposing a solution, we review the available Safety Data Sheet (SDS), UN number, Proper Shipping Name, class or division, packing group, quantity, packaging configuration, origin, destination, and intended mode of transport. Missing or inconsistent information is raised early so it can be corrected before cargo handover.
Classification & Acceptance Review : Review of cargo classification information, shipment restrictions, and acceptance conditions to identify suitable routing and carrier options.
Mode-Specific Compliance : Coordination with reference to applicable air, ocean, and road requirements, including IATA DGR and IMDG Code provisions where relevant.
Packaging, Marking & Labelling : Coordination with the shipper and qualified providers to confirm suitable packaging, marks, labels, and handling instructions for the selected mode.
Documentation Control : Review and coordination of the SDS, dangerous goods declaration, shipper instructions, permits, and supporting records before submission.
Carrier, Handling & Delivery Planning : Booking and acceptance follow-up, pickup and vehicle planning, segregation or storage requirements, handover controls, and final delivery instructions.
Monitoring & Exception Management : Milestone monitoring from cargo acceptance through departure, arrival, customs release, and delivery, with prompt escalation when conditions change.
