Definition & Explanation

When a pharmaceutical company needs to ship a UN Class 6.1 active ingredient but lacks the in-house certification to meet all regulatory requirements, a hazardous goods management service fills the gap. The specialist provider takes on classification and marking, safety data sheet review, preparation of mandatory transport documents, and shipment monitoring under ADR, IATA, and IMDG rules. Depending on the agreed scope, the service can extend to staff training and direct liaison with customs and regulatory authorities. The shipper transfers a significant share of compliance responsibility to the provider, gaining access to specialist expertise without building internal certification structures. Unlike standard dangerous goods freight forwarding, the service reaches well beyond transport into advisory, documentary, and—in some cases—regulatory representation functions.
