Ship Dangerous Goods Safely, Legally & Without Unnecessary Delays

Shipping batteries, fuel-related equipment, chemicals, or other high-risk cargo requires more than standard shipping documentation. Incorrect declarations or incomplete safety documents can result in cargo delays, rejection, or customs and carrier complications.

Naval Cargo helps shippers and businesses understand and prepare the documentation required for the safe movement of Dangerous Goods (DG).

Lithium Batteries & Electric Vehicles

Lithium batteries used in electric motorcycles, e-bikes, powerbanks, and other devices are subject to specific transport requirements.

Depending on the battery type, capacity, condition, and mode of transport, requirements may include:

• Proper battery classification and identification
• UN number and shipping description
• Approved packaging and labeling
• Battery test documentation
• Dangerous Goods Declaration (where applicable)
• Carrier-specific requirements

Large-capacity batteries require particular attention before booking shipment.

Fuel Tanks & Vehicles

Vehicles and equipment containing fuel or fuel residues may also be subject to Dangerous Goods requirements.

Before transportation, it is important to determine:

• Fuel type and quantity
• Whether the tank is empty or contains residual fuel
• Applicable carrier and transport regulations
• Required safety measures and documentation

Never assume that an empty tank automatically means unrestricted transport.

MSDS / SDS & DG Documentation

For many dangerous or potentially hazardous products, a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), formerly commonly called MSDS, is an essential starting point for determining the cargo classification and handling requirements.

Depending on the shipment, additional documents may include:

1. SDS / MSDS
2. DG Declaration
3. UN packaging certification
4. Battery test summary
5. Packing certificate
6. Other carrier or customs documentation
