FAQ

Does UDB accept every dangerous goods class?

No. UDB states that DG is accepted only by prior arrangement and subject to applicable regulations, documents and carrier acceptance. Some DG profiles are handled on request and may require partner or carrier approval.

Are perfumes treated as dangerous goods?

Regulated fragrances and perfumes may be classified as DG depending on product description, packing, net quantity limits and carrier acceptance. UDB reviews this before confirming handling.
