Dangerous Goods Completion Job aid

You need to use the International Expanded Air Waybill and must fill in a Shipper's Declaration (see IATA regulations).

The Shipper's declaration must include a 24-hour emergency response telephone number where information about the dangerous goods can be obtained in the case of an incident or accident involving the shipment.

• If Dry Ice is used to refrigerate non-Dangerous Goods:
