Our expertise covers lithium batteries, chemicals, aerosols, and all 9 classes of dangerous goods, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient door‑to‑door solutions.
Finland, as a Nordic industrial and technology hub, imports a wide variety of dangerous goods from China. The main categories (by IMDG class) include:
Lithium batteries and battery‑containing equipment (Class 9) are the fastest‑growing category from China to Finland, covering power tools, energy storage systems, e‑bikes, and EV components.
Air transport of DG must strictly comply with IATA DGR. Goodhope Freight provides a full‑process compliant operation:
For cargo volumes less than a full container, Goodhope offers LCL (Less than Container Load) services, consolidating different shippers' DG into one container in compliance with IMDG rules, destined for Finnish ports (Helsinki, Kotka, etc.).
We cooperate with major carriers for DG LCL services from Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, and other Chinese ports to Finland on scheduled sailings.

Goodhope Freight holds all required DG licenses and has a team trained in IMDG / IATA, ensuring full compliance for every shipment.

The following major carriers accept DG bookings from Chinese main ports (Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen, Qingdao, etc.) to Finland (Helsinki, Kotka):
We have long‑term cooperation with all above lines and can recommend the best route and rate based on your cargo type, delivery schedule and budget.
Major Chinese international airports are equipped to handle DG, with the following core hubs and airlines:
Finnair offers multiple weekly direct flights to Helsinki, making it a preferred choice for lithium batteries and high‑value DG shipments. We can book DG space and provide destination customs clearance and delivery.
From Shanghai/Ningbo, via Suez Canal or Cape of Good Hope, typically 35‑45 days. We provide real‑time sailing schedules and tracking.
Direct flights (e.g., PVG‑HEL) take about 2‑3 days; connecting flights take 4‑7 days including transit. We can offer the fastest option.
Yes, but they must meet UN38.3, packaging and SOC requirements, and must not be mixed with incompatible goods. We offer professional LCL solutions.
In addition to commercial invoices, packing list and B/L, you need MSDS, DG packaging certificate, transport identification report, DGD, etc. We assist with Finnish import clearance.
Our expert team can classify your product based on MSDS and composition, per IMDG / IATA DGR, and issue a classification report.
