Shipping dangerous goods (DG) in China requires meticulous planning, strict compliance with international and local regulations, and a deep understanding of logistics challenges. Whether you’re transporting chemicals, flammable materials, or other hazardous substances, partnering with a reliable logistics provider like LONG ensures safety, efficiency, and regulatory adherence.
Understanding Dangerous Goods Regulations in China
China adheres to stringent regulations for dangerous goods shipping, governed by frameworks such as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules, and domestic laws like the China Dangerous Goods Transport Regulations. Non-compliance can result in severe penalties, delays, or even accidents.
Key Regulatory Bodies
- Ministry of Transport (MOT): Oversees road and maritime DG transport.
- Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC): Regulates air shipments.
- General Administration of Customs (GAC): Manages cross-border DG movements.
