Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

No. Some goods are Forbidden (Class A) for air transport in all circumstances. Others are Forbidden on passenger aircraft but permitted on cargo aircraft only. Our DGR team will confirm the restrictions for your specific commodity.

IATA and aviation authorities treat DG misdeclaration as a serious criminal offence. Fines, aircraft impoundment, and prosecution can result. We help clients classify correctly to avoid these consequences.
