Dangerous goods by air freight: how it works
Dangerous goods — from chemicals and acids to lithium batteries, gas cylinders, and pyrotechnics — are indeed allowed to be shipped by air freight, provided they are properly classified, packed, and documented according to IATA DGR regulations.
Not every company has a DGR-certified employee on staff. Aircargo.nl handles everything for you: we classify your goods, prepare the Shipper's Declaration, select the right airline (not every airline accepts all DGR classes), and ensure your shipment is compliant before it takes to the air.
Common DGR categories we ship
- Lithium batteries (UN3480, UN3481) — the most common DGR in air freight
- Liquids and chemicals (class 3, 6, 8)
- Aerosol cans and gases (class 2)
- Corrosive substances and acids (class 8)
- Magnetic materials (relevant for air navigation)

Exporting to Brazil
Brazil is the largest economy in South America and a strategic export destination for Dutch companies in the agriculture, energy, machinery, and pharmaceutical sectors. The flight time from Schiphol is approximately 11 hours to São Paulo (GRU) or Rio de Janeiro (GIG) — with direct cargo flights available.
Brazilian Customs — the world's most complex
Brazil is internationally known as one of the most challenging customs environments. The Brazilian tax structure (including ICMS, IPI, PIS, and COFINS) is extremely complex, and the Siscomex system requires detailed electronic declarations. An incorrect HS code or missing document can cause delays of several weeks.
Points of Attention
- Importer must have a Brazilian CNPJ number
- Licença de Importação (LI) — import license — required for many product categories
- ANVISA registration for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics
- Expect an additional 2–5 business days for clearance
- Always use an experienced Brazilian customs broker
Importing from Uzbekistan
Import from Uzbekistan via air freight is a niche market and mainly concerns textile samples (Uzbekistan is a major cotton producer), specialty foods, pharmaceutical raw materials, and industrial components.
Air Freight vs. Rail
Uzbekistan is landlocked — sea freight is not an option. Rail transport via Central Asia to Europe takes 20–30 days, whereas air freight via Schiphol is customs-ready within 2–4 business days. For urgent shipments, samples, or high-value products, air freight offers significant time savings.
Customs on Imports from Uzbekistan
Under the EU GSP+ scheme, many Uzbek products qualify for preferential or zero-rate import duties, provided they have a valid Form A certificate. Aircargo.nl handles customs clearance and advises on GSP+ applicability.
In-Demand Goods from Uzbekistan
- Textile samples and cotton products
- Specialty foods (dried fruits, nuts)
- Pharmaceutical raw materials
- Industrial components and minerals
Brazil via Schiphol: Latin America Gateway
São Paulo Guarulhos (GRU) is the largest airfreight hub in South America. Goods destined for Argentina, Colombia, Peru, or Chile are frequently routed via GRU. Aircargo.nl has agent connections in São Paulo that efficiently handle crosstrade shipments, including the notoriously complex Brazilian customs procedures.
Important points for DGR shipments
IATA DGR classification required
Dangerous goods must be classified according to the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR). The classification determines the UN class, packing group, allowed quantity per package, and mode of transport (passenger aircraft or cargo aircraft only).
Documentation
Every DGR shipment requires a fully completed Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods, signed by a trained DGR specialist. Aircargo.nl employs certified DGR experts who prepare and verify all documentation.
Packing
DGR goods must be packed in UN-certified packaging appropriate to their UN class and packing group. Incorrect packaging is the most common reason airlines refuse shipments.
Airline approval
Not all airlines accept all types of DGR. Aircargo.nl always selects the right carrier based on your shipment’s DGR profile.
