Dangerous goods shipment with ACG - ACG Kenya

What is dangerous goods shipment?

A dangerous goods shipment is anything that if not handled correctly could harm someone or the environment in the process of the shipment.

If you are not sure if your shipment is a dangerous goods shipment, please always ask the manufacturer or suppliers for a Materials Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

If you have a UN number on the MSDS, it’s a dangerous goods shipment.
