Why the scented candles factory、manufacturer、supplier from China need provide DGM“Identification and Classification Report for Air Transport of Goods” to airline company when sending candle samples to Europe, America, Australia ?

Rezon:

Because candles are flammable, it is the third category of dangerous goods.

Istwa jwèt:

At Shanghai Airport in 2020, the dangerous goods in package of a plane caught fire, setting the whole plane on fire. When the fire was extinguished, all the goods had been burned to ashes, but people still read the video, the traces of the burning. The reason for the fire was found in the package, and the cause of the fire was caused by the battery in the package being squeezed. (Battery is a kind of dangerous goods)

If this plane was a passenger plane mixed with people and cargo, and the plane was flying when it caught fire, the consequences would be catastrophic.

In any case, It is very dangerous for the freight forwarder to send dangerous goods to the flight after concealing the name of the goods and the loss caused by the fire of the international express package is very huge.

Therefore, after the flight from Shanghai to Europe catches fire in 2020, all international express packages must be checked for the presence of dangerous goods. The product samples can only be boarded after the DGM certificate is provided and the conditions for air transportation are met.

Present situation

At present, only DHL express company has its own cargo plane round us , and after years of review, they have proved that although candles are dangerous goods, almost all candles have reached the standard of safe flight and will not pose a threat to the plane during the flight.

Therefore, DHL express company’s DGM review of stable premium members is reviewed once a year.

And Fedex, TNT, EMS and other courier companies, they all need to conduct a separate DGM test for each candle package.

Although their unit price is cheaper than DHL, after adding DGM test fee, both air freight efficiency and cost are lower than DHL.

This is the reason why DHL express is slightly more expensive than other express.

And DHL has a high level of professionalism in the air freight of dangerous goods, the package is never lost, so it is also our best choice at present.
