Dangerous Goods Air Freight —
IATA DGR Compliant.
End-to-end IATA DGR air transport of hazardous materials across Mexico and worldwide. Classification, UN-certified packaging, Dangerous Goods Declaration, and airline coordination handled by certified specialists.
Complete Dangerous Goods Air Transport Service
Air transport of dangerous goods is the most tightly regulated transport mode in the world. Every shipment must be classified, packed, marked, labelled, and documented to exact IATA DGR specifications before any airline will accept it. A single error can ground your cargo, trigger regulatory fines, or result in a permanent carrier ban.
Global Gate México acts as your full-service IATA DGR compliance partner — from initial classification through final delivery confirmation. Our certified team prepares the Dangerous Goods Declaration, selects the correct packing instruction, verifies quantity limits for passenger versus cargo aircraft, and coordinates acceptance directly with the carrier.

Applicable Air Transport Regulations
Every air shipment of dangerous goods we handle is validated against the full regulatory stack applicable to its origin, destination, and carrier — before a single label is applied.
Dangerous Goods Regulations

Technical Instructions for Safe Transport by Air

US Department of Transportation Regulations
Applies to all air shipments transiting or entering the United States. Includes additional requirements beyond IATA DGR for certain materials.
Mexican Civil Aviation Authority

How We Move Your Air Cargo Safely
Every air shipment of dangerous goods follows a strict four-step compliance workflow. No material moves to the airport until each step is completed and verified.
DG Classification
UN Number, Proper Shipping Name, Hazard Class, Packing Group, and Special Provisions identified. PAX vs. CAO quantity limits reviewed.
Packaging & Labelling
IATA packing instruction applied. UN-certified packaging selected and prepared. Hazard labels, handling marks, and UN marks applied per spec.
Documentation
Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods (DGD) prepared and certified. Emergency response information and NOTOCs coordinated.

If it doesn't pass validation — it doesn't move forward.
