If you’re shipping hazardous materials domestically or internationally, you probably have a lot of questions. That’s okay. Amerijet is one of the few air cargo shipping providers qualified to ship hazardous materials by air. As experts in this field, we’re committed to making it as simple as possible to get your goods to their destination.
Here are some tips you can follow when shipping hazardous materials.
• Know what you’re shipping—There are many different classes of hazardous materials, and it’s important that you know exactly which type you’re shipping. The main categories of hazardous materials are as follows: dangerous when wet, explosives, flammable gas, non-flammable gas, infectious substance, poison gas, organic peroxide, radioactive, corrosive, flammable solid, flammable liquid, oxidizer, spontaneously combustible, and poison. If you’re unsure of which category your hazardous materials fall under, ask an Amerijet hazmat agent for assistance.
• Prepare documentation in advance—Whether you’re shipping hazardous materials just a few states over or across the world, special documentation must be completed. As the shipper, it’s your responsibility to complete all documentation before shipping. However, Amerijet representatives are happy to assist you with this to ensure all documentation is properly completed.
• Clearly label all packages—All packages containing hazardous materials must be labeled properly according to federal and international shipping guidelines. Labeling is dependent upon which type of hazardous material you’re shipping. Again, if you’re unsure about how to properly label your goods, ask an Amerijet representative for assistance. We’re experts in shipping hazardous materials, and we’re committed to making this process as easy and fast as possible.
