Hazardous Materials

Elite is well prepared to assist in the transportation of hazardous materials both by air and ocean. A training program is maintained for our employees which keeps us in compliance with the training regulations as required by the IATA/ICAO regulations.

As the shipper is responsible for the preparation of hazardous materials certificates and the proper packing of the materials, and as Elite as a freight forwarder by law is not authorized to perform either function, we have established a relationship with several hazardous materials packers which enables us to offer you a source for your packing and certification of dangerous goods needs.

Transportation of dangerous goods requires liaison between the shipper, the airline, and the receiving country. Elite maintains a database of current import practices around the world.

Explosives and Radioactive Materials are amongst the numerous types of hazardous materials handled by Elite.
