When you transport dangerous goods, there are many things needs to be noted.
-
Should be realistic about the consignment of dangerous goods and declaration, do not fail to report, omission, misreporting, blind reporting.
Due to the high transportation requirements of dangerous goods, the transportation price is also higher than that of ordinary goods. In the case of independent accounting and self-financing, we should consider both accounting costs and reducing expenses, as well as risk factors to ensure the safety of shipping, both of which must be taken into account. In the daily work, in the consignment of dangerous goods, there are indeed some cargo owners or freight forwarders to save freight to the practice of dangerous goods as ordinary cargo consignment, there are some cargo owners and freight forwarders lack of knowledge and experience in the transport of dangerous goods, will not be dangerous goods for the transport of goods as dangerous goods consignment, both a waste of freight, but also increased a lot of unnecessary trouble. This phenomenon should be overcome and corrected.
(1) “International Shipping Dangerous Goods” detailed list of listed, not necessarily all dangerous goods. As we all know, to determine whether a kind of goods belongs to dangerous goods, should be based on the amount of its content, production process, physical and chemical characteristics, the degree of harm and a series of factors to determine, not simply to the name to measure.
(2) “International Shipping Dangerous Goods” is not specifically listed in the detailed list, can not be said not to be dangerous goods. Dangerous regulations are not a complete book, it is impossible to include everything, all the dangerous goods in the world are listed one by one without omission. Especially in today’s world of science and technology continues to develop, new products like a spring, many new dangerous goods are constantly added. Therefore, all the substances that do have dangerous characteristics, although not listed in the Dangerous Goods Regulations, we should still be declared as dangerous goods in a factual manner when consigning, in order to facilitate the safety of shipping. Declaration method should be based on the characteristics of its substances, according to the provisions of the Dangerous Goods set of categories, such as new commodity characteristics of flammable liquids, according to its closed cup flash point how much to determine its category, closed cup flash point is 20 degrees Celsius, is not listed in Category 3.2 flammable liquids: toxic substances according to the former toxicity table in the amount of LD50 by category set to do.
(3) In addition to the “International Maritime Dangerous Regulations”, each country has its own dangerous regulations, in order to respect the provisions of each country, where a country’s dangerous regulations for the export of dangerous goods, the country, even if the “International Maritime Dangerous Regulations” in the absence of the substance listed, should be declared as a matter of course for dangerous goods. For example, China’s exports of oxalic acid to the United States, China does not transport dangerous goods “International Maritime Dangerous Goods” is not listed, but the U.S. Dangerous Goods are listed as dangerous goods, then in transport must be declared as dangerous goods. Otherwise, the U.S. port will not discharge the goods, or impose a fine.
2. should be strictly in accordance with the relevant provisions of the port for the transport of dangerous goods procedures and packing.
The Ministry of Transport has many regulations on loading and unloading, transporting dangerous goods, and the enforcement agency of the ports is the port supervision. Shanghai port supervision of the following two provisions, the consignor, China freight forwarder and shipping agents, carriers are required to comply with the uncompromising handling:
(1) for the “package of dangerous goods safe and suitable for transport declaration” and “ship carrying dangerous goods declaration” of the declarant, must be trained by the port supervision of professional, and passed the examination, to obtain the declaration certificate of full-time declarant.
(2) dangerous goods container packing point must be approved in advance by the port supervision audit, the need for dangerous goods container supervisors, supervisors need to receive professional training in port supervision, and qualified by the examination to obtain a certificate of supervision. Container shipment of dangerous goods, the need to boxing point of the statement to the port supervision for “packaging dangerous goods safe and suitable for transport by the report” oral cargo by the report. After the container packing, supervisors need to be in the “container shipment of dangerous goods packing certificate” on the signature, and timely sent to the port supervision for inspection. Container point and the supervisor’s signature must be the same as the port supervision within the record, do not be fraudulent signatures, to avoid unnecessary trouble.
3. Ships loaded with dangerous goods must have certain conditions, especially ships loaded with all dangerous goods must have the inspection certificate of ship supervision department.
For the consignment of highly dangerous goods, such as CLASS1, CLASS2, CLASS3.1, CLASS5.2 and CLASS7, we should know clearly whether the ship is suitable for transportation beforehand, so as to avoid delaying the loading period by returning the customs after dispatching the ship.

Pay attention to the special regulations of the transshipment port.
At present, many goods need to be transshipped in Hong Kong and Singapore, the two ports have special regulations and requirements for dangerous goods in and out of transshipment, and many species are prohibited from transshipment. Where the above two ports must be transshipment of dangerous goods, in the contract before the transaction should be contacted with the shipping company to inquire whether the above port can be transshipment, in order to prevent unnecessary breach of contract events.
