Dangerous Goods ComplianceWithout Delays or Guesswork.
We help shippers, freight forwarders, and operators comply with dangerous goods regulations across air, ground, and maritime transport.
Shipment rejections, regulatory fines, and carrier incidents almost always trace back to classification errors, documentation gaps, or packaging failures. We work alongside your operation to close those gaps before they create consequences.
Dangerous Goods Compliance Is Operational
Most DG compliance failures don't happen in the boardroom. They happen at the point of acceptance — when a carrier rejects a shipment because the declaration is wrong, the packaging is not certified, or the classification doesn't match the Safety Data Sheet.
Regulations Updated Annually
IATA DGR, IMDG Code, and DOT 49 CFR are revised on annual or biennial cycles. Many operators work from outdated editions without knowing it.
Incorrect DG Classification
Wrong UN numbers, missed subsidiary hazards, or incorrect packing groups create failures at the point of acceptance — or worse, in transit.
Incomplete Documentation
A Dangerous Goods Declaration with missing fields, incorrect net quantities, or wrong emergency contacts will be rejected by any compliant carrier.
Non-Compliant Packaging
Using packaging without valid UN performance test certificates, or applying the wrong packing instruction, is among the most common causes of shipment rejection.
Misunderstood Modal Differences
What is permitted by road may be prohibited by air. Quantities allowed on cargo aircraft may be forbidden on passenger flights. Modal differences catch operators unprepared.
Global Gate México approaches compliance as an operational discipline. We have spent nearly two decades classifying shipments, preparing declarations, correcting packaging, and training the people who handle dangerous goods every day.
We work alongside your team to build compliance into your operation — not layer it on after incidents occur.
Dangerous Goods Compliance Services
Each service addresses a specific layer of the DG compliance stack. We work with companies that need one service and with operators that need all five.
DG Compliance
Validate and correct your dangerous goods operations before a carrier or regulator does. Classification, packaging, and documentation reviewed against current modal requirements.
- Shipment compliance review
- Classification & packaging validation
- Pre-shipment documentation audit
Regulatory Consulting
IATA DGR, IMDG Code, DOT 49 CFR, and SCT regulations differ in ways that create real operational risk. We clarify what applies to your operation and how.
- IATA DGR & IMDG Code interpretation
- DOT 49 CFR cross-border requirements
- SCT NOM compliance — Mexico
Compliance Audits
Internal DG audits identify the gaps that lead to shipment rejections and regulatory penalties — before they reach your operation. Records, procedures, and documentation reviewed against current regulations.
- Classification & documentation review
- DG declaration accuracy audit
- Corrective action plan development
SDS Review
An incorrect Safety Data Sheet produces wrong UN numbers and non-compliant declarations. We verify your SDS library against current GHS standards and transport requirements.
- UN number & hazard class verification
- GHS Section 14 transport data review
- Bilingual SDS — Spanish & English
Cross-Border DG Compliance
Mexico–USA movements must comply with SCT NOM and DOT 49 CFR simultaneously. We align your classification, documentation, and packaging across both frameworks.
- Mexico–USA regulatory alignment
- DOT 49 CFR & SCT dual compliance
- Cross-border documentation review
Why Companies Work With GGM
There is no shortage of consultants who will hand you a checklist. What is rare is a team that has actually operated in the DG environment they are advising on.
Real Operational Experience
Our compliance expertise is not theoretical. For nearly two decades, we have classified shipments, prepared declarations, selected packaging, and moved dangerous goods by air, ground, and sea. That operational reality shapes every consultation we deliver.
Multimodal Expertise
Most DG compliance failures happen at modal interfaces — where air requirements don't match what was accepted by road, or IMDG obligations were overlooked after IATA clearance. We operate across all three transport modes and understand where the differences create risk.
Practical Compliance Approach
We don't produce compliance reports that sit on a shelf. We work with your team to correct what's wrong and build procedures that hold under carrier scrutiny, port inspection, and regulatory audit — compliance that functions in practice, not just on paper.

Every industry handles dangerous goods differently. We understand the specific regulatory requirements, operational constraints, and compliance exposure of the sectors we work in.
