All you need to know about ZIM’s Dangerous Cargo
The DGD is a document that you need to fill in to certify that the dangerous goods being transported have been packaged, labeled, and declared in accordance with the standard international shipping regulations and any other laws, rules or regulations which may be applicable during their transport.
Once filled in, you will need to sign and stamp both sides of the document, then send the scanned copy to our booking desk.
For more information regarding deadline for submission of final DGD, please open Schedules menu on ZIM website, and go to country schedules (available for most countries).
Please make sure to submit the Dangerous Goods Declaration on time. Without DGD your container will not be loaded.
For further questions, feel free to reach out to your local representative.
We are doing our best to process your booking request and send a booking confirmation as soon as possible. Please note that confirming Dangerous Cargo bookings takes longer, since we must receive approvals from relevant parties in order to ensure the safety of your shipment as well as the vessel and crew.
