Hazardous Goods Facilitation
Dangerous goods, also referred to as hazardous materials or Haz Mat, require special packaging/labelling and documentation prior to storage or transportation, both within the domestic and international markets. The prime objective is always to ensure 100% compliance with the applicable Haz Mat regulations and safety standards.
Emerald Freight Express have qualified customer service agents who are certified to handle dangerous goods in accordance with IATA regulations. As such we can offer advice to shippers in relation to packaging/labelling/documentation as required for distribution and transportation.
If our clients do not have the requisite expertise to pack/label/document their hazardous shipments, we can offer further advice and recommend a third party agency who will step in to provide all the necessary technical assistance, so as to ensure 100% compliance with the applicable regulations and safety standards.
