All cargoes excluding those to TSN and CLS9 to other destinations are handled as chartered service (cargoes to Hangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hefei, Jinan, Taiyuan, Shijiazhuang, Harbin, Zhengzhou, Hohhot, Changsha, and Lanzhou are handled as chartered service).

Make sure that an MSDS includes the name and category (IATA DGR Class, UN number) of the material as well as procedures to be taken in an emergency situation and the contact information.
If an MSDS is enclosed in an envelope and is attached to the pouch, we cannot open it. Make sure to attach it as it is outside the pouch, without using an envelope.
Please note that we cannot guarantee that the cargo is taken on a booked flight unless an MSDS is submitted in accordance with the specified method.

At a refrigeration facility in Chengdu, only dry ice for cooling purposes can be stored.
To use refrigeration facilities in Shenzhen or Chengdu, advance contact (booking of the facilities) is required at the time of reservation.
2) Contact us in advance for transport of dry ice on CA152, CA406, and CA422 because some aircrafts do not have a ventilation system.
3) For cargoes to a third country, please refer to the "CA list of third country locations accepting dangerous goods" at right and [Remarks concerning CA list of third country locations accepting dangerous goods] below.
Please also refer to the State Variations in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
4) Liquid dangerous goods contained in single packaging or composite packaging considered as single packaging should be over-packed regardless of the type of packaging.
Please also be advised that the following conditions apply to liquid dangerous goods accepted on manually loaded aircrafts.
(1) Each over-pack containing single or composite packaging should weigh G.W.100kg or less.
(2) Regardless of the number of packages and weight, make sure to put a handle or a handgrip on the over-pack.
(3) When two or more single packages are over-packed, please use a buffer or take other measures to avoid breakage and leakage due to collision of the packages inside the over-pack during transport.
5) Please note that cargoes containing dangerous goods or dry ice for cooling purposes are not acceptable by freight collect.
6) When sending cargoes with multiple risks, subsidiary risks should be fully considered.
We ask you to declare all risks at the time of booking regardless of the destination.
