Class 3 Hazmat Shipping

Safe, compliant, and efficient flammable liquid transport from China to global destinations.

What Is Class 3 Hazmat?

Class 3 hazardous materials refer to flammable liquids—substances that can easily ignite when exposed to heat, spark, or flame. These include products, such as paints, alcohols, adhesives, gasoline, perfumes, and solvents, all of which require special handling under international transport regulations.

Because of their low flash points and high volatility, these materials pose serious fire risks during storage and transit.
That’s why hazmat Class 3 flammable liquids shipping demands strict compliance, certified packaging, and professional logistics management.

Shipping Requirements

When shipping hazmat Class 3 flammable liquids from China, compliance starts long before your cargo reaches the port. Here’s what you must prepare:

1. UN-Certified Packaging:

Each container must meet UN performance standards, designed to prevent leaks or explosions during transit.

2. Proper Documentation:

You’ll need a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods (DGD), Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and transport approval forms.

3. Segregation & Handling:

Flammable liquids must be kept away from oxidizers, corrosives, and heat sources, especially during ocean or air freight.

4. Mode-Specific Regulations:

– Air Freight: Follow IATA DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulations).

– Sea Freight: Comply with IMDG Code.

– Land Transport (USA/EU): Follow DOT 49 CFR or ADR guidelines.
