Air Freight is one of the leading methods for transporting dangerous goods, not least because it is quick and efficient.

But just because it’s fast doesn’t mean it’s easy. There are more variables to this shipping method, including but not limited to air pressure, temperature control, and passenger vs. cargo plane, which is where IATA swoops in. IATA, or International Air Transport Association, is another United Nations agency designed to regulate the safe transport of dangerous goods via air. The protection of human life, our skies, and aircraft is at the top of their list. The regulations discussed in this article are drawn directly from IATA’s extensive database.

Dangerous goods regulations for Air Freight are complex and difficult beasts to wrangle. But never fear! In this article, we have broken down these regulations into a digestible form.

If you’re looking to learn how to ship dangerous goods via Ocean Freight or just a rundown of what precisely a dangerous good is, check out part one of our dangerous good series here.

But before we dive into Air Freight, a note of warning…

Dangerous goods have become an increasingly important commodity in our modernized society. According to the Federal Aviation Administration or FAA, more than 3 billion tons of hazardous goods are transported in the United States alone, with more than 261,000 tons of that total in Air Freight. And those numbers are in no way slowing down.

Dangerous goods are all around us, ranging in diversity from household items like bathroom cleaners to ultra-sensitive nuclear waste. But what exactly is a hazardous good and how does one go about shipping them to destinations across the globe?

This article will be the first in a three-part series that breaks down everything you need to know about hazardous goods. Today, we’ll discuss what a dangerous good is and how to ship it via Ocean Freight. From classification to proper shipping regulation, we’ve got you covered! So, let’s get started…

At midnight on September 30th, approximately 50,000 longshoremen walked off the job at the ports in the East and Gulf Coasts, from New England to Texas, when their contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX) expired.

As of now, the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the USMX have yet to reach a resolution for a contract renewal.

This historic port strike has impacted our operations significantly and is expected to escalate once port operations resume with extreme delays, port congestion, and a backlog of cargo. During this time, Veritas Global Transportation will not be responsible for charges caused by the work stoppage. However, we will do everything we can in our power to keep your cargo moving and minimize extra costs as best we can, given the circumstances.

As an NVOCC, Veritas Global relies on vessel-operating common carriers (VOCCs), which have declared force majeure for all shipments in and out of the United States East and Gulf Coasts. We reserve all rights under our Bill of Lading Terms, including under applicable force majeure clauses, to temporarily suspend obligations where performance is affected by these extraordinary circumstances.

Ocean Freight rates are yet again on the rise…

Toward the end of 2023, a golden year after the tumultuous period during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ocean Freight rates began to climb. Now, they’re reaching levels that have importers and exporters alike scrambling for answers.

In this article, we have compiled a list of 4 factors that have combined to create a perfect logistical storm. If we know the facts, we get to work on solutions, so let’s get started…

Exporting any amount of goods to a foreign country is an arduous task. However, the process is much simpler and efficient when the shipper knows what documents are required for legal export processes.

In this post, we’ll take a look at a few of the documents needed, why they are needed, and what exactly each entails.

The Commercial Invoice

The commercial invoice is a document that allows the forwarder to obtain information related to the value of the cargo.

The commercial invoice usually shows the cargo weight, value, official description, H.S. Code (if it is known), and the quantity.

As you can see from the above example, this commercial invoice also has information about the exporter, the consignee, and the sold-to party (which can be different from the consignee in some situations).

We have a commercial invoice template for your shipment that you can utilize at our Shipping Forms page.

In every shipment, there are always two parties: buyer and seller. When a buyer purchases goods from a seller in a different country, the seller has to find a way to send their product to the buyer. However, who pays for the international shipping and who takes the risks involved is what can sometimes be a challenge to figure out.

Not if you’re using incoterms, that is.

Incoterms are a set of universally acknowledged freight agreements that clearly state what the buyer is responsible for and what the seller is responsible for.

A simple definition of an incoterm according to export.gov is as follows: “Incoterms are a set of rules which define the responsibilities of sellers and buyers for the delivery of goods under sales contracts. They are published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and are widely used in commercial transactions” (“Know Your Incoterms”).

There are eleven different incoterms, and each one is for a unique buyer/seller arrangement. Some are similar, and others are quite different. Nevertheless, they all make the shipping process so much simpler by explicitly defining the obligations of both parties. Below is a list of the incoterms used in the world of import/export and what they stand for:
