IATA DGR
Category: Compliance
Also searched as: IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations
Definition (plain English)
The air-cargo dangerous goods regulations used by airlines and forwarders to classify, pack, mark, document, and handle hazardous goods by air.
Why it matters commercially
IATA DGR issues can cause airline rejection, missed flights, repacking cost, fines, and safety incidents, especially for batteries, aerosols, chemicals, and samples.
Example
A sample shipment moved from air to courier ground service after the SDS showed the product required DG air documentation and trained shipper approval.
Common mistake
Sending samples by air from a supplier without checking battery content, aerosol pressure, liquids, UN number, packing instruction, and shipper declaration rules.
