A hazardous cargo manifest is a transport document that consolidates all safety-critical and regulatory information for a dangerous goods shipment: UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, quantity, and mode of transport. The shipper — typically the manufacturer or loader — prepares the document and must make it available to every party in the chain: freight forwarder, driver, handling agent, and consignee. It provides a verifiable compliance record and ensures that all parties understand the hazard and the applicable handling requirements. It should not be confused with the general cargo manifest, which lists all goods carried aboard a vessel or aircraft.
