Dangerous Goods (Regulated Items)

Dangerous Goods (also known as Regulated Items) are substances or articles that pose a risk to people, property, or the environment due to their chemical or physical properties. They are usually classified with reference to their immediate risk.

Dangerous Goods may require specialized safety precautions or other measures for transportation, usage, storage, or disposal.

Lithium Ion cells and batteries are classified as Dangerous Goods (DG). Shipments of Dangerous Goods are controlled under a number of regulatory agencies—at the national and international levels—to ensure safety and proper handling.
