Unlike hazardous goods advisory services, dangerous goods control refers to the systematic verification that active shipments comply with applicable dangerous goods regulations. Inspections are carried out by competent authorities – customs, transport police, or regulatory agencies – as well as by in-house compliance teams at forwarders and shippers. Inspectors examine classification, packaging, labelling, transport documents, and load securing. Deficiencies can result in shipment holds, fines, or suspension of transport authorisations.
