What counts as dangerous goods?

Items that can cause fire, explosion or harm if handled incorrectly, for example many chemicals, lithium batteries and compressed gases.

What do you need from me to ship dangerous goods?

The safety data sheet, the UN number and hazard class, the packing details and the quantities. We then handle the classification, the DG declaration, approved packing and labelling.

Do you arrange carrier acceptance in advance?

Yes. Carriers will only accept hazardous cargo with the right class, packing and paperwork, so we arrange acceptance before the cargo moves.

Can dangerous goods go by sea and by air from Dubai?

Yes, through Jebel Ali Port and Dubai International Airport, subject to the rules for each class of goods.

Dangerous Goods Shipping from Dubai | DG Cargo

Anil Darya International L.L.C-FZ is a Dubai-based freight forwarder offering sea freight, air cargo, dangerous goods, bulk cargo and break bulk / project cargo services, and a member of FIATA and NAFL.

DG certified · Sea and air

We arrange dangerous goods (DG) shipments by sea in full containers, in groupage where carriers accept it, and as breakbulk. Before booking we check classification and documents against the IMDG Code, get carrier approval and follow the cargo through to delivery.

What we handle

We work with DG cargo in IMDG classes 2 to 9, subject to carrier and port acceptance for each UN number. Typical cargo includes paints and coatings, resins and adhesives, industrial chemicals, aerosols, lubricants and oils, batteries and battery-powered equipment, and machinery that contains fuel or hazardous fluids. Class 1 (explosives) and Class 7 (radioactive material) need special approvals and are reviewed case by case.

How a DG shipment works with us

You send the SDS, UN number, quantity, packaging and route.
We check the classification against the current IMDG edition (Amendment 42-24 since 1 January 2026) and flag any mismatch between the SDS, invoice and packing list.
We confirm which carriers and transshipment ports accept the cargo on your route.
We request DG approval from the line and book the space.
We prepare or review the DG declaration and container packing certificate, and check labels, marks and placards.
We follow the cargo through gate-in, loading and arrival, including local port rules at Jebel Ali.

Why Jebel Ali for DG cargo

Jebel Ali is the main container port of Dubai and connects to shipping services across Asia, Europe, Africa and the Indian subcontinent. DG cargo moving through it follows the IMDG Code plus local requirements issued by Trakhees, the EHS regulator for the port and free zones. Some classes have summer storage limits at the port, so pickup and delivery need to be planned around the vessel dates. Our guide to IMDG Amendment 42-24 explains the latest code changes.

What to send for a DG quotation

Safety Data Sheet (SDS), with Section 14 filled in
UN number, proper shipping name, class and packing group
Quantity, number of packages and type of packaging
Origin, destination and ready date
FCL, LCL or breakbulk preference, if you have one

Common reasons DG bookings are refused

Most refusals come from documents that do not match, packaging that is not approved for the packing group, missing labels, segregation conflicts or a carrier that does not accept the class on that route. We cover each one in why shipping lines reject dangerous goods.
