DG Label

Dangerous Goods Label (DG Label) is a specialized label used to identify goods with hazardous characteristics. It is typically affixed to packages in accordance with standards such as the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) and the International Air Transport Association Dangerous Goods Regulations (IATA DGR), categorized by hazard class (e.g., explosives, flammable liquids, corrosives). Usage scenarios include dangerous goods export customs declaration, booking, warehousing, transportation, and delivery, where carriers, freight forwarders, and regulatory authorities use it to identify risks and take appropriate protective measures. Precautions: Labels must comply with the specific requirements of the destination country/region and mode of transport; size, color, pattern, and text must be clear and durable; incorrect or missing labels may result in refusal of shipment, fines, delays, or even safety incidents. Difference from other terms: DG Label focuses on the hazard identification on packages, whereas DG Declaration is the accompanying written document, and DG Packing Certificate certifies that the packaging meets specifications. Foreign trade practitioners should ensure that labels match declaration information and confirm the latest regulations with freight forwarders in advance.
