UPS accepts international dangerous goods on a contract basis only. UPS also
accepts international excepted quantities as outlined in section 2.7 of the IATA
DGR on a contract basis only. UPS accepts non-bulk quantities of dangerous goods
shipments for transport by "air" modes when prepared in accordance with the
International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions. "Air"
modes include UPS WW Express, UPS Expedited and Euro Express. This UPS Guide for
Shipping International Dangerous Goods should always be used in conjunction with
the most current IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
You, as the shipper, may ship specific dangerous goods in specific quantities
as outlined in the accepted table as long as you fully comply with all
governmental regulations and UPS variations.
In some cases, UPS requirements are more restrictive than those of the
IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. UPS "conditions incident to transportation"
differ from those of other systems due to our unique method for sorting,
handling, and moving packages. UPS only accepts dangerous goods shipments from
customers that follow these variations.
UPS only transports dangerous goods to and from approved countries. You, as
the shipper, must complete all requirements for the dangerous goods shipment
prior to pickup. Contact your local UPS Customer Service Department for
qualification and approval information. UPS does not accept dangerous goods
shipments at UPS Customer Centers or Air Letter Centers.
The Dangerous Goods Service handling charge applies to all dangerous goods
packages that require a Shipper´s Declaration.
Time-in-transit guarantees do not apply to dangerous goods packages that are
delayed due to causes beyond the carrier´s control or acts of God. Further, no
guarantee applies to dangerous goods packages that are improperly offered for
transport.
