Overview
The transportation of dangerous goods — hazardous materials classified by the United Nations under the nine internationally recognized classes — requires specialized expertise, certified handling procedures, and strict regulatory compliance. BaliCustomsClearance.com provides comprehensive dangerous goods (DG) handling services for both air and sea freight shipments through Bali, ensuring your hazardous materials are classified, packaged, documented, and transported in full compliance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (for air), IMDG Code (for sea), and Indonesian national regulations. Our DG-certified team handles everything from initial classification and packaging assessment to customs clearance and carrier coordination.
Dangerous goods encompass a wide range of products commonly shipped through Bali, including lithium batteries in electronic devices, cosmetics and perfumes containing flammable alcohols, paints and adhesives used in furniture manufacturing, cleaning chemicals for the hospitality industry, pharmaceutical products, compressed gases for diving operations, and marine fuels and lubricants for the yachting industry. Many shippers are unaware that their products may be classified as dangerous goods under international transport regulations. Our DG specialists assess your cargo, determine the correct UN classification, and ensure proper handling from origin to destination.

International dangerous goods regulations classify hazardous materials into nine primary classes. Class 1 covers explosives including fireworks and pyrotechnics. Class 2 encompasses gases — both compressed (diving tanks) and aerosols. Class 3 includes flammable liquids such as perfumes, paints, adhesives, and alcohol-based products. Class 4 covers flammable solids, spontaneously combustible materials, and substances that emit flammable gas when wet.
Class 5 addresses oxidizing substances and organic peroxides used in manufacturing processes. Class 6 includes toxic and infectious substances, relevant for pharmaceutical and medical shipments. Class 7 covers radioactive materials. Class 8 encompasses corrosive substances including batteries, cleaning agents, and certain industrial chemicals. Class 9 addresses miscellaneous dangerous goods, notably lithium batteries — one of the most commonly shipped DG items from Bali due to the electronics trade. Our team is certified to handle all nine classes for both air and sea transport.
Lithium batteries represent the most frequently encountered dangerous goods category in modern shipping. Whether contained in devices (Section II) or packed separately (Section I), lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries must comply with strict packaging, quantity, and documentation requirements. Our DG team ensures your lithium battery shipments meet IATA Special Provision A154 and packing instruction PI965-PI970 requirements, including proper state of charge testing documentation, packaging specifications, and shipper declarations. We also handle the increasingly common e-commerce returns and warranty shipments involving battery-powered devices.

Common Questions
Common DG items from Bali include perfumes and essential oils (Class 3 flammable liquids), lithium batteries in electronics (Class 9), paint and lacquer for furniture exports (Class 3), diving equipment with compressed air tanks (Class 2), cleaning chemicals for hospitality supplies (Class 8 corrosives), and certain traditional medicines containing restricted substances. Our team assesses your products to determine correct classification.
DG surcharges vary by carrier, hazard class, and transport mode. Airlines typically add USD 50-200 per package as a DG handling fee. Shipping lines charge DG surcharges of USD 100-500 per container depending on class and quantity. Additional costs include UN packaging, special documentation, DG warehousing, and our DG processing fee. Contact [email protected] for specific cost estimates based on your materials.
No, certain dangerous goods are forbidden on aircraft under any circumstances, including some explosives, certain toxic gases, and some radioactive materials. Other DG items may only ship on cargo aircraft (not passenger flights). IATA DGR provides detailed acceptance tables for each UN number. Our DG specialists determine the transportability of your materials and recommend the appropriate shipping mode — air cargo, passenger aircraft, or sea freight — based on the specific classification.
Certifications are renewed every 24 months as required by international regulations. Team members also complete Indonesian-specific DG transport training and airport security awareness programs. This multi-certification approach ensures compliance across all transport modes and regulatory frameworks. Reach us at +6281139414563.
