Whether you’re shipping the latest x-ray medical equipment or the chemicals essential to the global supply chain, the refreshed Cathay Dangerous Goods solution is ready for you.
Handling dangerous goods requires special expertise – and we have it. It’s the mission of our dangerous goods team to make safety the first priority, so your shipment in the skies leaves you with peace of mind on the ground.
We are able to accept shipments from every class of dangerous goods – including the increasing numbers of lithium batteries that power our phones, our computers and our electric vehicles.
We accept every class of dangerous goods: from Class 1 to Class 9, including flammable, radioactive and other types of hazardous materials, and we allow for the seamless and safe carriage of lithium batteries.
All handling procedures are in full compliance with IATA safety standards and requirements of local jurisdictions. We also offer advice and training to forwarders via our Cargo Agent Operation Programme for compliance and safety in their handling of every class of DG.
We have just been recertified with IATA’s CEIV Lithium Batteries accreditation, and have reduced the time from enquiry to service level agreement.
We offer fire-resistant containers and fire containment bags to accept shipments of Lithium-ion batteries in a wide range of sizes.
Our IATA Dangerous Goods-certified people provide regulated handling. We offer special segregated storage areas for every class of dangerous goods as approved by local authorities.
Shipping the UN 3480 Lithium-ion batteries (Lithium-ion cells and batteries) under Section IA or IB in accordance with the Packing Instruction 965 requires prior approval for acceptance and carriage by the airline.
Shipper is required to complete and submit the online RBI Shipper Approval Request Form with all necessary documents (eg, UN38.3 test report, MSDS, etc) via “cathaycargo.com” to Cathay Cargo for approval.
For further details, please refer to the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulation.
