Shipping of dangerous goods
What is shipping of dangerous goods?
Shipping of dangerous goods refers to the transport of products classified as hazardous due to their physical, chemical, or biological properties – such as flammability, toxicity, or reactivity. These shipments require strict handling, documentation, and packaging standards.
Shipping of dangerous goods in eCommerce
In eCommerce, the shipping of dangerous goods – like batteries, aerosols, or cosmetics with alcohol – must comply with international regulations (e.g., ADR, IATA). This affects labeling, carrier selection, and packaging. With everstox, brands can work with certified fulfillment partners who are equipped for handling and shipping hazardous materials according to all required safety standards.
Example for shipping of dangerous goods
A cosmetics company sells alcohol-based perfumes online. These are considered hazardous goods and must be shipped with special labels and packaging. With everstox, shipping is handled securely and in compliance with legal requirements.
