Unlike a general freight document, the HazMat Manifest is dedicated solely to dangerous goods, meeting the specific declaration requirements of hazardous materials regulation. For each line item it records the UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group—the core data required for compliant carriage under ADR (road), IMDG (sea), or IATA DGR (air). Shippers, carriers, and consignees rely on it to demonstrate regulatory compliance throughout the transport chain. In the event of an incident, emergency responders use it as their primary reference to assess the nature and severity of the hazard. It should not be confused with the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which describes substance-specific properties but does not serve as a transport document.
