We have prepared 8,000 combination package plastic drums, 1H2 with plastic inner package bottles, for air freight to meet IATA requirements. We have also prepared in a very short turn-around time of just 2 days, 420 different shipments consisting of different products including the issuance of shipping papers, waybills, marks, labels, and packing slips.

Lithium Metal Battery and Lithium Ion Battery

Lithium battery shipments, whether they are lithium metal batteries, lithium ion batteries, packing in equipment, or packed with equipment - we can handle it. We prepare thousands of lithium batteries in all configurations.

Properly assigning lithium batteries to the various designations is a difficult task with each designation having vastly different requirements. Consider Specialized Shipping your go to source regarding all lithium battery shipments.

DGM takes the liability of properly issuing dangerous goods declarations on behalf of the shipper. Our well-informed staff is able to complete the information required on a dangerous goods declaration quickly and accurately, saving you time and money by ensuring that your cargo is shipped correctly the first time.

We can handle any project, whether it is a simple IMO declaration (IMDG code ocean shipment) or an entire laboratory of chemicals for air transportation prepared according to ICAO and IATA regulations.

Dangerous goods documentation is the main means of communicating shipment details to carriers and cargo handling personnel. "Shipping paper," "dangerous goods document," "DGD," "DG dec," "IMO," "IMO declaration," "R-A," "R-A cert," and "R-A document" are all terms that apply to variables of the same certificate.

This document is issued by the shipper or his/her agent declaring various important parameters of the consignment, such as UN number, proper shipping name, and hazardous material class(es). It is ultimately signed by that person representing the organization preparing the certificate. This also serves as a statement that all of the applicable laws and regulations have been adhered to.

The standardized form used for air shipments containing hazmat cargo is prescribed by IATA International Air Transport Association. Information regarding the requirements for this document can be found in section 8 of the 2012 53rd edition IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR).

The form for air shipments used to be referred to as R-A certificates or Restricted Article documents, now antiquated terms. The US DOT and PHMSA (pipeline hazardous material safety administration) typically refer to these documents, whether the shipment is tendered for air or ocean, as simply SHIPPING PAPERS.

OCEAN Shipments (CFR49, IMDG Code)

DGM New York’s ability to issue IMO documents for our customers makes a perfect compliment to the location of our warehouse, which is just 5 miles to Port Newark/Elizabeth-Port Authority Marine Terminal. Located just off of Routes 1&9, our warehouse is just minutes to a number of large ocean freight consolidators that we arrange for daily on-site inspection and IMO documentation. Don't forget, we also strip and load containers at our own facility as well!

Ocean shipping papers are typically referred to as an International Maritime Organization Declaration or IMO. The format used shows the same information as dangerous goods documentation for other modes of transportation, but also includes pertinent details, such as segregation codes, to aid in loading the dangerous goods once tendered to a vessel.
