Navigate the complexities of dangerous goods (DG) and cargo shipping with M&P International Freights. Your trusted partner in safe and compliant DG transportation worldwide.
Dangerous goods (DG) refer to substances or items that when you transport via aircraft can put human’s health, the environment, safety, and properties at risk. In most cases, they have hazardous properties that when improperly controlled, can pose hazards to human health and safety and to infrastructures and means of transport.
Various regulatory agencies govern and control the transport of these dangerous goods. In fact, you can see them operating at both national and international levels.
In Singapore, we prioritise safety and security when it comes to importing and exporting dangerous goods. Thus, it is necessary for the agencies in the country to ensure that dangerous goods fully comply with the requirements in terms of handling and managing them.
Among the most commonly imported and exported dangerous goods to and from Singapore that require proper handling and management are the following:

A license control should be obtained by anyone who plans on importing, selling or exporting hazardous goods and substances in Singapore.
