Shipping hazardous materials can’t be done at just any regular shipping company. In fact, only a select few air cargo carriers are certified to transport hazardous materials. That’s because the process requires the shipping company employ highly trained Hazmat agents who know exactly what it takes to transport these goods safely to destinations throughout the world.
Why do shipping agents need to be trained and certified in shipping hazardous materials? So they can…
* Properly classify hazardous material shipments–Federal and international laws require that all hazardous material shipments are properly classified and declared. The difficulty is that there are so many different classes of hazardous material, most shippers don’t know which category their shipment falls under. A properly trained Hazmat agent can look at the type of hazardous materials being shipped and properly classify it to make certain it’s shipped safely and securely.
* Ensure all hazardous materials are packaged correctly–When packing explosives, gases, and flammables, it only makes sense to take extra precautions. After all, the last thing anyone wants is for a hazardous material shipment to put others at danger. Depending on the type of hazardous material being shipped, there are specific requirements for exactly how the goods are packaged and labeled. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory. Certified Hazmat agents have been fully trained in the packaging requirements when shipping hazardous materials, so they can help guide you to make sure your shipment is in full compliance with all laws and regulations.
* Arrange for safe shipping of hazardous materials–Shipping hazardous material, whether domestically or internationally, requires careful planning. The shipping agents have to ensure that certain types of hazardous materials aren’t shipped together on the same vessel, and that all hazardous materials are properly declared, packaged, labeled, and documented. “Safety” is the name of the game. Hazmat agents go the extra mile to ensure everyone involved in the shipping of your goods is as safe as possible.
* Answer any questions shippers might have–If you’re shipping hazardous materials, it’s only natural that you’ll have a few questions. From answering questions about how to package your hazardous materials to determining which method of transportation best meets your demands, certified agents are trained to do it all. Their goal is to provide you with the highest level of service, so that you can have the peace of mind knowing your hazardous materials are safely being shipped to their destination.
* Identify overlooked hazardous materials–One of the key roles of Hazmat shipping agents is to identify hazardous materials that haven’t been properly labeled or packaged. Many shippers don’t realize that some common, everyday items are considered hazardous. Hair spray, batteries, and paint are just a few examples of items you might not realize are hazardous material.
Do you need help shipping hazardous materials? Find an air cargo carrier that is fully certified to handle this complex task. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions you might have, so that you can be sure your shipment is fully compliant with all laws.
