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 the United States
The US is the world’s largest importer and a top destination for Dutch exporters. Schiphol offers daily direct cargo flights to New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), Chicago (ORD), and Atlanta (ATL), with a flight time of approximately 9 hours. Due to the large capacity, air freight rates to the US are generally competitive.
US Customs & Border Protection (CBP)
US customs require a correct Airway Bill, commercial invoice, and packing list for every shipment. Shipments over $800 require a formal customs entry (ISF filing). Electronics, pharmaceuticals, and dual-use goods may require additional licenses, such as an EAR export license or FDA registration of the manufacturer.
What you need to know
- Lithium batteries are subject to IATA DGR rules — always notify in advance
- Certain goods fall under EAR (Export Administration Regulations) and require a BIS license
- The US has no VAT but does impose customs duties — your buyer pays these upon import
- ISF 10+2 filing is mandatory for sea freight; for air freight, AMS (Advance Manifest System) applies
Aircargo.nl handles complete export documentation to the US and has established relationships with US customs agents at all major hubs.
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
US as a crosstrade hub via Schiphol
Schiphol is one of the few European airports with a fully equipped customs warehouse, allowing goods from the US to transit via AMS to Asia, the Middle East, or Africa without a formal EU import procedure. This makes the US–Schiphol route particularly suitable as a crosstrade hub for multinationals organizing their European distribution through the Netherlands.
Aircargo.nl coordinates US crosstrades for clients in sectors like pharma, aerospace, and tech, managing the entire transit — including handling, documentation, and onward carriage — from a single point.
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.
