Shipping Hazardous Material with Amerijet
Not every shipment is simple. Some cargo, like dry ice, lithium batteries, or medical supplies, falls under hazmat freight shipping rules. That’s where Amerijet steps in. We know hazardous material shipping requires precision, compliance, and zero shortcuts. Our trained teams and global processes make sure your dangerous goods travel safely, in line with 49 CFR and IATA DGR regulations.
But here’s the thing: safety doesn’t just start with us; it starts with you. Shippers need to properly declare, package, label, and mark hazardous goods before sending them. Skip a step, and you risk delays or penalties.
What Counts as Hazardous Material?
- Dry Ice (Carbon Dioxide, Solid):Must be in sturdy packaging (no Styrofoam), allow gas release, and be clearly marked. Anything over 5.5 lbs. needs a Class 9 hazard label and full air waybill details.
- Lithium Batteries:Strictly regulated under IATA and U.S. DOT rules. They must be shipped in UN-certified containers, terminals protected, max 30% charge, and always properly labelled and documented.
Household Hazardous Materials You Might Not Expect
Did you know that many everyday items in your home are regulated as hazardous cargo? Products like aerosols (spray paint, bug spray), flammable liquids (nail polish, lighter fluid), corrosives (bleach, drain cleaner), and even gases (lighters, life vests) fall under hazmat rules. Explosives such as ammunition and fireworks are also included, making it important to ship them with extra care and compliance.
