Hazardous materials — "hazmat" or dangerous goods — are substances that pose a risk to health, safety, property or the environment in transit: flammable liquids, compressed gases, corrosives, oxidizers, lithium batteries, aerosols, lab chemicals and more. In the United States, their transport is regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT) under the Hazardous Materials Regulations, which sort them into nine UN hazard classes.
Compliant hazmat shipping starts with correct classification and proper shipping name, then UN-rated packaging, labeling, placarding and a shipping paper that travels with the load. Get any of it wrong and the shipment can be refused, delayed or fined. RS Group manages the classification and documentation and books your freight on hazmat-endorsed carriers so it moves right the first time.
