Dangerous Goods

Air Transport Association (IATA) and to the road transportation regulations outlined
by the UN ADR and does not accept Dangerous Goods in its system- nationally or internationally.
Local national regulations also apply for road transport.
Individuals or businesses which ship Dangerous Goods without
appropriate labelling documentation and packaging can face significant
financial and legal penalties. It is also important to remember the
following when shipping with ParcelHero.com:
If you are reusing packaging or cartons, please ensure
that all old labelling is removed. Any dangerous goods
labels on a package will cause the shipment to be held
and inspected, causing service delays and Inconvenience to
you and your customer.
If you are shipping goods that could be potentially seen as
Dangerous Goods, but are not, because of their unusual name,
appearance etc, it is advantageous to clearly declare on the
shipping documentation that the goods are classified
as Dangerous Goods. This will ensure the shipment
is not delayed unnecessarily. Any misdeclaration
will lead to strong penalties for the shipper.
