Dangerous Goods
With the increasing difficulty and confusion in exporting dangerous goods around the world Tudor
International is keeping ahead of the competition by using the best resources available to offer a
full dangerous goods service by air, road and sea.
The regulations governing the carriage of dangerous goods are specified in “IATA Dangerous Goods
Regulations by Air” and the “IMO International Maritime Organization Regulations”. All hazardous
goods are classified accordingly within these manuals and the rules explain in detail the quantities
permitted to be carried in each package and the type of package required. With the help of our
qualified and vastly experienced team we can ensure that your shipment is packed, documented and
shipped in a fully compliant, professional and cost effective manner.
Packing
Packing of dangerous goods is of the utmost importance for shipments travelling by
air and sea. Tudor International is able to offer a full packing service using UN approved boxes and
labels. We have a constant stock of UN approved fibreboard (4G) boxes and other special packaging,
suitable to safely move hazardous goods as well as the necessary absorbent materials. We are also
able to offer supply and packaging services for shipments requiring ‘Dry Ice’ to ensure temperature
sensitive goods remain frozen on their route to the consignee.
Documentation
Documentation is a priority for all dangerous goods shipments and at Tudor International
we have staff who are trained to IATA (International Air Transport Association) and IMO (International
Maritime Organization) standards who are able to provide a full documentation service. If you prepare
your own documentation Tudor will offer a free of charge document check to ensure there are no hidden
mistakes which could cause your shipment to be ‘snagged’ by the carrier causing un-necessary delays to
your urgent shipment.
The “Dangerous Goods Note” is a legal requirement for all dangerous goods shipments
moving by air and sea. The person responsible for signing the “Dangerous Goods Note” is required by law
to have had the appropriate training. Tudor International ensures our staff are always up to date with
training requirements and that they have full access to all relevant publications.
Storage
Storage of dangerous goods is available at our warehouse in Leeds. We ensure that all
dangerous goods are kept dry and safe and are segregated from other freight to offer maximum protection
while the goods are in storage.
Forwarding
Forwarding of dangerous goods could not be easier with Tudor International. With a good
relationship with the world’s major airlines and shipping lines we are able to secure priority space for
dangerous goods shipments. Handling sheds throughout the UK are able to contact our staff 24 hours a day
should any problems arise with any dangerous goods shipment.
