Most non-radioactive, non-explosive DG classes — Class 3 flammable liquids, Class 4 flammable solids, Class 5 oxidisers, Class 6 toxic substances, Class 8 corrosives and Class 9 miscellaneous. Class 1 explosives and Class 7 radioactive materials sit outside standard commercial chemical freight.

Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each product, dangerous goods declaration with UN number, class, packing group and quantities, and correct placarding/labelling on packages. Manifest paperwork is generated at booking; placarding applied by the sender to cartons, drums and IBCs before pickup.
