Many customers wonder, why can’t I send alcohol hand sanitizer? When I ask the logistics service provider about the arrangement, they request for a MSDG report. Therefore, FreightAmigo provides this article to help you know more about the MSDS Report and the dangerous goods shipping tips.
1) Ask the suppliers for cargo content details and required documents
2) Consult logistics service providers’ guidelines

You may not have noticed that you are sending dangerous goods! The MSDS report is as important to you, the courier staff, the recipient, other shipments or the environment as a mask under the COVID-19!
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a vital report which listed the physical and chemical properties of the cargo materials. Logistics company will make special delivery and storage arrangements according to different circumstances.
As a shipper, misdeclaration, incorrect packaging and improper handling of dangerous goods can lead to shipment failure.
If you are not sure whether the consignment is in the category of dangerous goods, you should obtain the report from distributor or manufacturer.
