DANGEROUS GOODS LOGISTICS
Hazardous by classification. Routine to us.
Flammables, lithium, corrosives, and explosives. The shipments that stop other carriers cold are the ones we move every day, across all nine classes and every mode, with a single team accountable from paperwork to delivery.

IS DANGEROUS GOODS LOGISTICS RIGHT FOR YOU?
If your cargo carries a class, you’re in the right place
Hazardous, highly regulated, and complex commodities live by rules that shift with every class, corridor, and mode. Handling them right takes experts who do exactly this, every day.
- Your cargo has a class: It falls under one of the nine dangerous goods classes, and you need a partner who knows what that means before it ever touches a pallet.
- One wrong form grounds everything: A bad declaration can ground a shipment before it moves, or worse. Your paperwork should be handled by people who complete it every day. And that’s just what we do.
- It can’t ship as-is: Repacked, relabeled, or recertified to spec before it can legally move. Done right the first time, on your timeline.
- Regulated, and still urgent: A mission-critical shipment that has to clear the rules and move now needs both handled at once. That’s the work we do every day.
HOW It WORKS
Compliance built in from the first conversation
The difference between a clean move and a grounded one is the work nobody sees. We’re here to show you ours.
We classify your cargo
Tell us what you’re moving. Our experts identify the class, the regulatory requirements, and the route restrictions that apply, then confirm exactly what your shipment needs to travel.
We package and document
We repack, relabel, and recertify to IATA, IMDG, and DOT standards, and prepare every declaration and shipping paper the corridor and mode require. Done in-house, by the people accountable for it.
We move it
Air, ocean, road, or rail, drawing on the lift of a global group and a partner network everywhere else. Your cargo travels with full chain-of-custody and a team monitoring it around the clock, ready to act the moment conditions change.
We close the loop
Confirmation on delivery, complete documentation on file, and one point of contact who knew your shipment by name from the start.
Our Dangerous Goods Logistics Services
The cargo that defines what a carrier can really do
Explosives and Class 1 materials
Ammunition, small-arms cartridges, pyrotechnics, and defense materials, from UN 0012 through the permit coordination that clears them. We validate acceptance, secure authority approvals like Germany’s BAM, and route through approved carriers and airports before a single unit ships.
Lithium batteries and high-energy cargo
Battery packs, EV modules, and the high-energy systems behind nearly every industry we serve. Handled to full Class 9 compliance across UN 3480, 3481, 3090, and 3091, from standalone cells to batteries packed with equipment.
Flammables, gases, and corrosives
Compressed, refrigerant, and medical gases, fuels and solvents, acids and alkalis across Classes 2, 3, and 8. Moved with the segregation, containment, and routing that keep them compliant from origin to destination.
Reactive solids and oxidizers
Self-heating and water-reactive solids, industrial oxidizers, and organic peroxides across Classes 4 and 5. Segregated, contained, and routed so a reaction risk in transit never becomes a reaction.
Toxic, infectious, and radioactive cargo
Toxic industrial chemicals, medical and biological materials, and controlled radioactive shipments across Classes 6 and 7. Handled under the containment, documentation, and authorizations these most tightly controlled classes require.

CERTIFICATIONS & COMPLIANCE
The clearance that decides what most operators can and cannot carry
National Air Cargo is certified across all nine dangerous goods classes, from Class 1 explosives to Class 7 radioactive material. Our handling stays audited under FAA oversight and aligned to the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code, ADR, and DOT rules across air, ocean, and surface transport.
Our global network
Regulations change at every border. Our people don’t get caught off guard.
Dangerous goods rules shift by country, corridor, and class. What clears in one jurisdiction gets held in another. Our regional teams know the local requirements where your cargo lands, so a compliant shipment stays compliant the whole way through.
Our industry affliations
We don’t just follow the rules. We sit at the table where they are set.
Membership in the bodies that write and enforce dangerous goods regulation keeps our protocols current, our certifications audited, and our people fluent in changes the moment they land. The bar for regulated transport keeps rising. We help raise it.
Your complicated shipments are the conversations we want
