Special Cargo: Confirmed Before Booking

Dangerous goods, frozen cargo and cosmetics move only after we confirm scope and documents per shipment. If it cannot be declared compliantly, we say no — before you pay, not at the port.

Case scenarios — sensitive cargo

Five representative shipment scenarios drawn from this service's published scope. Illustrative examples, not client testimonials; rates, transit and volumes are confirmed per quotation.

DG

Batteries with MSDS & UN spec

A battery shipment is enquired with class/UN number, MSDS and packaging; we confirm in writing what the lane and destination accept before any space is booked, and the declaration matches those documents.

FROZEN

Reefer load with the set point agreed

A frozen consignment confirms reefer requirements, temperature set point and pre-cooling before booking, so carriage conditions are fixed in writing rather than assumed at loading.

COSMETICS

Cosmetics aligned to destination rules

A cosmetics batch is checked against destination ingredient and registration requirements before loading, with the documentation aligned so the cargo is not held on arrival.

GATE

Document set reviewed before booking

An importer sends specs first; we run the three-step gate — enquire, confirm documents in writing, then book — and decline a misdeclaration, because a "no" saves a seizure rather than losing a sale.

ONWARD

Cleared for carriage, onward on a DDP lane

Once the documents support it, confirmed sensitive cargo moves onward on a sea or air DDP lane with clearance and delivery handled end-to-end — nothing ships without a compliant declaration.

The three-step gate

  1. Enquire with specs

    Product name, class/UN number or ingredient list, packaging, volumes.

  2. Document confirmation

    We confirm what the lane and the destination accept, in writing, before booking.

  3. Book & ship

    Only then do we book space and load — with declaration matching the confirmed documents.

Our rule: nothing ships without a compliant declaration. A "yes" from us means the documents support it; a "no" saves you a seizure, not a sale.
