What is Hazmat/Dangerous Goods Shipping?

Hazardous materials are some of the most complex, expensive and heavily regulated packages to ship.

Shipping hazardous materials (hazmat) or dangerous goods (DG) can be complex, expensive, and heavily regulated. Even everyday items such as nail polish or batteries can fall under these classifications. Non-compliance with hazardous materials shipping regulations can lead to shipment delays, fines, and even supply chain disruptions. ProShip's multi-carrier hazmat shipping software simplifies the process by helping you ensure compliance and avoid costly mistakes.

Benefits of Hazmat and Dangerous Goods Shipping Software

Shipping hazardous materials and DG doesn't need to be difficult.

With ProShip's integrated Labelmaster add-on, our multi-carrier shipping software can effortlessly simplify the process. Labelmaster empowers you to navigate the ever-changing regulations for hazmat and DG shipments with confidence. ProShip then automatically checks your shipment details against the latest regulations, ensuring everything is compliant.

ProShip's Labelmaster Integration

Take the guesswork out of hazmat shipping.

ProShip seamlessly integrates with Labelmaster's Dangerous Goods Information System (DGIS), ensuring your hazmat and dangerous goods shipments are compliant and predictable. DGIS is an industry-leading database containing the latest regulations for hazmat and dangerous goods around the world.

This powerful integration automatically checks your shipment details against the latest regulatory changes, eliminating the worry of non-compliance and potential delays. Continue shipping dangerous goods and hazardous materials with confidence, knowing your packages are properly shipped with the correct outer packaging according to hazard classes.

How ProShip's Labelmaster integration simplifies your workflow:

1. ProShip Gathers Shipment Details: This includes information about your goods, regulations, and transportation mode. Labelmaster is selected and then processed as the service.

2. Automatic Validation with Labelmaster: ProShip sends this data to Labelmaster's DGIS database for validation of the shipment.

3. Compliance Check: Labelmaster verifies the shipment data and identifies any potential issues.

4. Effortless Documentation: ProShip prints carrier-compliant hazmat shipping labels and regulation-compliant Dangerous Goods Declarations for your hazmat shipment, ready for shipping.

Frequently Asked Hazmat Questions

What products are classified as hazmat or dangerous goods?

Many hazmat shippers are typically aware of the common items classified as dangerous goods (gases, explosives, corrosives, and other flammable or radioactive substances). A large list of everyday items that can also fall into the hazardous materials or dangerous goods category. Some of these items include hand sanitizer, nail polish, perfumes, batteries, paint, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and even first aid kits. These items may require special classification and packaging based on hazardous materials regulations.

ProShip can help you determine if your shipment needs special hazmat handling and ship hazmat according to the proper regulations.

Which carriers ship hazardous materials?

ProShip supports fully regulated hazmat capabilities for UPS, FedEx, and DHL Express US origin. USPS and mailing services, such as DHL eCommerce, OSM, and Pitney Bowes, have limitations on hazmat shipments and may only accept limited quantities or specific types of other non-fully regulated items.

What are the penalties of improper hazmat shipping?

Shipping hazmat incorrectly can lead to a domino effect of problems. First, authorities may hold your package for inspection to verify its compliance with regulations. This can cause significant delays in your shipment reaching its destination.

Additionally, violating hazmat regulations can result in hefty fines ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the severity of the offense. Ultimately, these delays and potential fines can lead to frustrated customers who may not receive their orders on time or who may have to pay additional costs due to your mistake. ProShip can help you avoid this entire chain reaction by ensuring your hazmat shipments are compliant from the start, following regulations for air transport or ground transportation depending on your needs.

How much can fines cost for incorrect hazmat shipping?

The financial penalties for violating hazmat rules and regulations can vary depending on the severity of the offense. Fines can range from a minimum of $400 all the way up to almost $200,000 for more serious violations. ProShip can help you navigate the complexities of hazmat shipping to avoid these hefty costs.
