Why Is Proper Handling Of Dangerous Goods Essential?
Handling dangerous goods while shipping is a legal necessity and vital for public and environmental safety.
Incorrect packaging or labelling can result in accidents, chemical leaks, fires, or explosions during transit.
It can also lead to fines, shipment rejections, and reputational damage. Our compliance with global transport codes like IATA, ADR, IMDG, and RID ensures that every shipment meets the highest safety standards.
What Types Of Hazardous Materials Can You Ship?
Our dangerous goods shipping services handle the transport of a broad range of hazardous materials, including:
- Flammable liquids and solids – Such as solvents, fuels, and reactive powders.
- Compressed and liquefied gases – including industrial, medical, and speciality gases.
- Corrosive substances – Acids, alkalis, and cleaning agents.
- Toxic and infectious materials – Used in research, diagnostics, and manufacturing.
- Lithium batteries – Both loose and contained in devices, including EV and consumer electronics batteries.
- Radioactive materials – Managed for authorised clients under strict regulatory oversight.
- Specialist packaging and documentation – Ensured that every shipment met compliance and safety standards.
How Much Does Dangerous Goods Shipping Cost?
Dangerous shipping costs between £100 and £1,500+, depending on factors like goods classification, with flammable or toxic items requiring higher handling fees.
UN-approved packaging and labelling can add £50–£300, while air freight is costlier than road or sea. International shipments are more expensive due to customs and compliance surcharges.

Dangerous Goods Shipping made a complicated process feel easy. From the very first call, their team walked me through each requirement and provided clear, accurate documentation. They caught a labeling error that could’ve delayed our shipment and helped fix it same-day. I’ve worked with other companies, but none have matched this level of professionalism. Everything arrived on time and in full compliance. I wouldn’t ship hazardous goods with anyone else
