Dangerous Goods Transport

Dangerous Goods Transport
Dangerous goods transport by TNT Express
TNT Express does have all necessary licences to transport dangerous goods. To guarantee a safe delivery,
dangerous goods always need to be declared beforehand. If you are certified yourself to pack and ship
dangerous goods, you can obtain approval to ship these goods via the standard TNT Express services.
Strict norms apply, such as correct labelling, not exceeding the agreed volumes, etc.

Safety really is one of our top priorities and a lot of our focus is on shipping dangerous goods correctly,
since these do pose a risk to health, safety and the environment. To minimise these risks as much as
possible, TNT Express offers you several options, which will make sure dangerous goods are identified
fast and efficient and followed up better in our networks.
