Products such as lithium batteries, chemicals and other hazardous materials require specific packaging, documentation, handling and declaration procedures before they can be transported safely by air.
The proposed approach places greater emphasis on cooperation between shippers, freight forwarders, airlines, regulators and other supply chain stakeholders.
Improved information sharing, training, screening and compliance checks could help identify potentially hazardous shipments earlier in the logistics process.
The need for stronger controls is becoming increasingly relevant as global air cargo networks handle a wider variety of shipments and growing volumes of express and e-commerce cargo.
For businesses moving regulated goods by air, accurate classification, documentation and compliance remain critical to maintaining safety while avoiding shipment disruptions.
