Dangerous goods declaration
The shipper’s signed statement classifying hazardous cargo and confirming it is packed and marked correctly.
A document in which the shipper declares the hazard class, UN number, packing group and quantity of dangerous goods, and certifies that they are packed, marked and labelled to the applicable rules.
It is signed by the shipper, not the carrier, which is where the liability for its accuracy rests.
