Dangerous Goods or Hazardous Materials are often found in your home, office and work place. Most chemicals have a Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) that typically lists the dangerous contents. Look for some of the common words such as flammable, corrosive, toxic, combustible. If these are written on the product label, it is quite likely that these are regulated for transportation by air and ocean, and sometimes via ground as well.

Regulations surrounding packaging, handling, tendering, shipping of Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Materials is governed by a complex set of regulations formed by multiple bodies. The majority of airlines, cargo vessels and trucking companies are mandated to comply with the transport regulations formed by US DOT for shipment (for shipments by ground, ocean and road), IATA (for international shipments by air) and IMO (International Maritime Organization) for shipment by ocean.
