Dangerous cargo services refer to specialized services provided by carriers to handle the transportation of hazardous or dangerous goods to or from an inland location. These services involve additional costs incurred by the carrier due to the unique nature of handling dangerous cargo. The additional costs encompass expenses such as licenses, permits, and the engagement of specialized vendors with certifications, which come at a higher cost. The purpose of charging a fee for dangerous cargo services is to cover these additional expenses and ensure the safe and compliant movement of hazardous goods. This fee is applicable to bookings involving dangerous cargo where the customer has requested carrier inland haulage for export or import, indicating the need for specific expertise and resources in handling and transporting such goods.
