DGR Documentation Requirements

For commercial dangerous goods shipments, specific documentation is required. OBC as passenger has simpler requirements.

Commercial Cargo (NOT OBC):

📋 Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods (DGD):

• Required for all DG cargo shipments
• Must include UN number, proper shipping name
• Signed by trained shipper
• Two copies required

📋 Air Waybill:

• Must reference DGD
• Include handling codes
• "Cargo Aircraft Only" if applicable

OBC as Passenger:

Since OBC couriers travel as passengers, formal DGD is NOT required for items covered under Table 2.3.A. However, good practice includes:

✅ Recommended Documentation:

1. Commercial invoice with accurate item descriptions
2. Battery specifications (Wh rating) for electronics
3. MSDS if carrying unusual items
4. Written confirmation item is passenger-safe

✅ What to Include in Invoice:

• Complete description of contents
• Battery type and Wh rating if applicable
• Statement: "No dangerous goods except as permitted for passengers under IATA DGR Table 2.3.A"

When DGD IS Required (Even for Passengers):

⚠️ Medical/Scientific Samples:

• Infectious substances (Category B or exempt)
• Require proper packaging and documentation
• Usually not suitable for OBC

⚠️ Dry Ice:

• If >2.5kg
• Requires airline notification
• Package must allow gas release
