Guide to Dangerous Goods
Dangerous goods are articles and substances, which pose significant risk, health, safety and property. Therefore, their carriage is strictly controlled by International Dangerous Goods Regulations, which specify the conditions under which dangerous goods can be transported without risking the safety of people and property.
Dangerous goods must not be carried in or as guests or crew, checked or carry-on baggage, except as otherwise provided below. Dangerous Goods permitted in carry-on baggage are also “on one’s person”, except where otherwise specified.
