Request a ConsultationHow Regulatory Gaps Create Operational Risk
Most DG compliance failures are not intentional — they result from teams applying the wrong edition, misreading a special provision, or missing a regulatory amendment that took effect mid-year.
Operating on the Wrong Edition
IATA DGR updates annually. Companies using last year's edition may unknowingly apply superseded packing instructions, outdated quantity limits, or removed special provisions.
Modal Regulation Misapplication
Applying air rules to a ground or ocean shipment — or vice versa — creates documentation errors that surface at border crossings or carrier acceptance.
Special Provisions Missed
Special provisions modify or exempt standard requirements. Missing an applicable SP can mean unnecessary packaging costs or, worse, an incorrect compliance assumption.
Cross-Border Regulatory Gaps
Mexico-US cross-border shipments must comply with both SCT and DOT regulations simultaneously. Complying with one while violating the other is a common and costly error.
