How do transit countries influence dangerous goods transports with sensitive substances?
Transit countries influence dangerous goods transports through inspections, route options, document requirements and operational rules.
Transit countries can strongly influence dangerous goods transports with sensitive substances because routes, inspections, document requirements and operational rules can vary depending on the route. Which requirements apply depends on substance, dangerous goods class, route, destination country and current regulations.
For transports toward Central Asia, the Caucasus or the Middle East, possible border crossings and transit processes must be checked early. A theoretically short route is not always the most operationally stable solution.
GLOBALSPED evaluates dangerous goods transports based on the specific shipment and coordinates route options, documents and risks with the parties involved.
