The Air Freight “No-Fly” List: Navigating Dangerous Goods (DG) Restrictions

The appeal of fast air freight services is obvious. You get your goods to where they need to be quickly, efficiently, securely, and safely.

Unlike road or sea freight, air cargo is affected by a range of different pressures that can have a detrimental impact on certain substances, to the point of changing their status from innocuous to dangerous. That’s why Dangerous Goods (DG) regulations are so tightly enforced. But that does make things harder for importers and exporters. So, what do you need to know about the air freight “no-fly” list?
