Important facts and information

The transport of dangerous goods is at significant risk when they are improperly or improperly handled. If the goods are hidden, misdeclared, completely undeclared, wrongly packaged or marked, health and safety are affected. Do you know that some food flavorings, perfumes, chemicals as well as electronic equipment can be considered Dangerous Goods? If you wish to ship such goods for personal or commercial use, then please consult ShipLemon's dangerous goods advisor. If you have the slightest doubt, consult the "Safety Data Sheet" from the manufacturer to clarify whether the product can indeed be transported as a simple cargo. In this case, ShipLemon and the courier companies ask the shippers to state on the bill of lading and/or the invoice the phrase "Not Restricted" or "Not restricted as per special provision A..." The safety data sheet, must always located behind the bill of lading.

Summary of Sender's Liability

The shipper is responsible for the declaration, packaging and labeling of Dangerous Goods. Shipping companies will accept Dangerous Goods, but with certain restrictions on the various products and services offered and only under certain conditions. Avoid the possibility of harm to others and avoid fines from the authorities by ensuring that your shipment does not contain dangerous materials. Some items may be considered dangerous when they are not (eg chemicals), so you can avoid your shipment being delayed or interrupted by adding the words, "Not Restricted" to your documents when applicable.
