In the process of choosing air transportation, cross-border people always worry about whether international logistics companies or international freight forwarders are reliable and compliant. Of course, this is the first and necessary thing to consider. And when we have selected a cooperative agent or logistics company, as a shipper should be concerned about what problems?
No matter what kind of transport channel, safe transport is the most basic requirement, and this point is particularly important in air transport. Therefore, for some cargo, there is an additional air identification process.
What is air identification
Identification and Classification Report for Air Transport of Goods, commonly known as identification and classification report for air transport of goods.
Which goods should be certified by air?
1.Goods with magnetism
According to the IATA902 International air transport Agreement, the intensity of any magnetic field at 2.1m away from the surface of the measured item should be less than 0.159A/m(200nT) before it can be used for general cargo transport (identification of general cargo). All goods containing magnetic materials will generate magnetic field in space, and safety detection of magnetic goods should be carried out to ensure flight safety.
For example, magnetic steel, magnet, magnetic bar and other materials; There are such as speakers, speaker accessories of audio and video equipment; Electrical machinery and so on and so forth.
2.Powder cargo
Cargo status of powder must provide air identification report, such as diamond powder, spirulina powder, various plant extracts.
3.Goods containing liquids and gases
For example, some instruments may contain rectifier tubes, thermometers, barometers, pressure gauges, mercury converters, etc
4.Chemical goods
Chemical cargo Air cargo identification reports are required for all kinds of chemical products. Chemicals can be generally divided into dangerous chemicals and ordinary chemicals. Common in air transport are ordinary chemicals, that is, chemicals that can be transported in accordance with ordinary goods. Such chemicals must have the air identification of general goods before transport, that is, the identification report that proves that the goods belong to ordinary chemicals and are not dangerous goods.
5.Oily cargo
For example, engine, carburetor or fuel tank in which motor vehicle parts may contain fuel or residual fuel; Camping equipment or utensils may contain flammable liquids such as kerosene or gasoline.
6.Goods with batteries
The classification and identification of batteries is relatively complicated. Batteries or products containing batteries may be dangerous goods in Item 4.3, Category 8 and Category 9 by air transportation. Therefore, identification reports are required to support the products involved in air transportation. For example, electrical equipment may contain batteries; Electric devices such as lawn mowers, golf carts, wheelchairs, etc., may contain batteries.
