Small businesses need to ship thousands of products every year. The process can go from routine to complex if any of the items being shipped get classified as hazardous material. That term alone can set off alarm bells for small businesses that don’t have experience packaging and labeling these products for air transport.
Amerijet understands those concerns, and has a dedicated team of experts to help businesses understand how to ship hazardous material by air.
Hazardous material is anything that’s potentially flammable or explosive, even if the risks of that happening seem very low. Items classified as hazardous range from acids to chemicals. However, everyday items such as laptops or perfumes are considered hazardous material depending on the quanties being shipped. The list of potentially hazardous products is far longer than many people may think.
