Dangerous Goods Air Freight Coordination in Shanghai

UDB Shanghai can coordinate pre-booking review of dangerous-goods information, including classification, SDS, shipper-declaration data, packing, marks and labels. The shipper remains responsible for correct classification and declaration, while final acceptance is decided by the carrier, operator, airport and authorities under the applicable rules.

What UDB Shanghai supports

  • Collect the DG classification, UN/ID information, quantity, packing method and route.
  • Pre-screen SDS, shipper-declaration information, marks and labels for completeness.
  • Coordinate additional information and acceptance steps requested by carriers or operators.
  • After acceptance is confirmed, coordinate booking information, handoff requirements and exception escalation.

What UDB Shanghai does not provide or promise

  • Replace the shipper's responsibility for classification, packing, marks, labels and declarations.
  • Guarantee acceptance of any dangerous-goods class, packing configuration or route.
  • Accept undeclared, misdeclared or materially undocumented dangerous goods.

FAQ

Can UDB Shanghai decide whether a carrier will accept dangerous goods?

No. UDB Shanghai can coordinate a document pre-screen, but final acceptance remains with the carrier, operator, airport and relevant authorities.

Does an SDS automatically make cargo acceptable for air transport?

No. An SDS is only part of the review. The actual product, classification, quantity, packing, marks, labels, route and carrier requirements must also be checked.

Who is responsible for classification and declaration?

The shipper remains responsible for accurate information, correct classification and the applicable packing, marks, labels and declarations.
