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 Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is the most populous economy in Central Asia and is undergoing rapid modernization. Demand for Dutch machinery, agri-technology, medical equipment, and construction materials is strongly increasing. Schiphol does not have direct cargo flights — routing usually goes via Istanbul (Turkish Cargo), Frankfurt, or Riga to Tashkent (TAS) or Samarkand (SKD). Typical transit time is 2–4 days.
Customs & Regulation
Uzbekistan is not a member of the EAEU and applies its own import tariffs and regulations. Importers must have a valid STIR tax number. Most shipments require a commercial invoice, packing list, and Certificate of Origin. Separate certification requirements apply for food products, medical equipment, and chemicals via Uzstandart.
Practical Tips
- Documentation in Russian significantly speeds up customs clearance
- Exchange rate regulations and payment transactions can be complex — coordinate in advance with your Uzbek importer
- Export permits from the Netherlands are required for dual-use and mining-related goods
Aircargo.nl works with dedicated agents in Tashkent and manages the complete documentation including translation and local coordination of customs clearance.
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.
