In the rapidly expanding global trade, the safe transportation of dangerous goods is a core concern in the logistics industry. 

Logistics of dangerous goods refers to goods that may pose potential risks during transportation, such as flammable liquids, 

explosive items, compressed gases, chemicals, and radioactive substances, etc. If these items are handled improperly, 

they can have a significant impact on personnel safety, property, and the environment. So, how many of these mobile bombs do you know?

How to distinguish between sensitive goods and dangerous goods? 

Dangerous goods are items or substances that can pose a threat to health, safety, property or the environment, 

especially when handled improperly. 

Dangerous goods or hazardous materials can be solids, liquids or gases, or pure chemicals, or mixtures,

 manufactured products or individual items. They are classified based on their potential hazards, such as flammable, 

toxic, explosive, radioactive, etc. 

Dangerous goods are defined as those that meet the standards of nine hazardous levels and fall into three packaging categories. 

The nine categories are related to the types of hazards, 

while the three packaging categories are related to the degree of hazard applicable within each category. 

Due to the wide range of categories, some hazardous categories are further subdivided into subcategories of dangerous goods. 

What are the common dangerous goods for export?

For example, cosmetic products such as epoxy glue, toner, nail polish, perfume, gas, 

essential oil, batteries, thinner, paint, ink, lighter, spray glue, etc. 

According to the customs regulations, if merchants export this type of product, 

they are required to obtain the dangerous goods packaging certificate in advance, namely the 

"Inspection Result Sheet for the Performance of Exported Goods Packaging".
