Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD)
Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD) is a core document in the transportation of dangerous goods, completed and submitted by the shipper to the carrier. It serves as the formal declaration of the hazardous nature of the consignment and provides instructions for its safe transport.
Dangerous Goods Declaration Form (DGD): A formal declaration document submitted by the shipper to the airline. It must include detailed information such as the UN number, packaging description, and SOC value. The form must be stamped with the official seal of the declaring entity, and the information must be completely consistent with the bill of lading and the actual goods.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Purpose | To provide the carrier (airline, shipping line, etc.) with complete and accurate transport information about the dangerous goods. It is the primary document used by operational and safety personnel for handling, storage, and emergency response. |
| Issued By | The shipper (or their designated, qualified agent) is responsible for completing, signing, and assuming legal liability. All information must precisely match the actual goods, packaging, and markings. |
| When Used | Must be completed and submitted before the goods are handed over to the carrier for transport. For example, it must be submitted to the airline before aircraft loading and to the shipping line before vessel loading. |
- Legal Document: The DGD is a legally binding declaration; the shipper is fully responsible for the accuracy of its contents.
- Information Source: The data entered is based primarily on the test results from the Dangerous Goods Transport Identification Report.
- Accompanying Document: The DGD must accompany the shipment so that all parties in the transport chain have access to critical safety information.
