A freight forwarder takes on a chemicals shipment and immediately identifies the goods as subject to international hazardous materials regulations – that is precisely where dangerous goods order management begins. It covers the regulatory-compliant handling of all order processes for goods governed by ADR (road), IMDG (sea), or IATA DGR (air). From the moment an order is accepted, the UN number, hazard class, and packing group must be on file; permitted transport routes are verified, since not every class is authorised on every mode. Mandatory documents – dangerous goods declaration, safety data sheet, and evidence of UN-certified packaging – are coordinated throughout, and each handling point must confirm compliance. Errors in this process attract significant fines and, in the event of an incident, can result in aggravated liability for all parties involved.
