IMDG Code Amendment 40-20

IMDG code Amendment 40-20 entered mandatory into force on 1 June 2022.

We would like to point out that the shippers/consignors are responsible for ensuring that dangerous goods offered for shipment are classified and declared in accordance with the valid regulations. The shipper* must also ensure that the dangerous substances are packed, marked and documented, the cargo transport units placarded according to the IMDG Code and equipped with securing points.
