Dangerous goods compliance for shippers and freight forwarders

If you consign dangerous goods by air, the responsibility for getting it right sits with you, not the airline. A rejected consignment costs days; a non-compliance can cost a CASA enforcement action. David works alongside your team so your products, packaging, documents and procedures stand up to acceptance checks the first time.

Where it usually goes wrong

  • Consignments rejected at acceptance for classification, packaging or paperwork errors
  • Products you are not sure are dangerous goods, or that changed when a supplier changed
  • A CASA approval or exemption you need and do not know how to apply for
  • Lithium batteries, radiopharmaceuticals and other time-critical goods held up in the chain

What the work includes

Each engagement is scoped to what you need; these are the components David draws on.

Dangerous goods audit of your facility and documentation
A structured review of how dangerous goods are identified, classified, packed, marked, labelled, declared and recorded at your site, measured against CASR Part 92, the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IATA DGR, with a written report and corrective actions.
Evaluation of your products against the dangerous goods requirements
Line-by-line assessment of what you ship, so every product has a confirmed classification, UN number, packing instruction and the right conditions for passenger or cargo aircraft.
Liaison with civil aviation authorities
Preparation and lodgement of applications for CASA approvals and exemptions, and working through technical questions with the regulator on your behalf.
Technical advice on preparing consignments
Practical, specific answers when a shipment does not fit neatly into the regulations: overpacks, Section II lithium batteries, excepted quantities, special provisions and state and operator variations.

What you end up with

Shipments that are accepted first time, staff who know why the rules say what they say, and a documented compliance position you can show a regulator or a customer.
