Requirements for shipping liquids or fertilizer including hazardous and non hazardous products through SKUdrop?

To ship goods with liquids through SKUdrop — such as hazardous or non hazardous plant fertilizer etc — the following requirements must be met:

✅ 1. Pre-Approval by SKUdrop

• SKUdrop must review and approve the product before it’s shipped to our warehouse.
• Send the SDS and product details to the SKUdrop team for confirmation.
• Hazardous products cannot be shipped through SKUdrop under any circumstances.

✅ 2. Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

• A current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is mandatory.
• The SDS must include:

• Full chemical composition
• Hazard classification (if any)
• Handling and storage instructions
• Transport and regulatory information (especially Section 14)

✅ 3. Product Classification

• You must confirm whether the liquid is classified as a Dangerous Good (DG) under:

• IMDG Code (for sea freight)
• UN number, class, and proper shipping name
• If the product is not hazardous, a non-DG declaration may be needed.

✅ 4. Packaging Requirements

• Packaging must:

• Prevent leakage
• Be compatible with liquid contents
• Meet any UN certification requirements (for DG)
• Double-sealing or inner liners may be required

✅ 5. Labeling

• Cartons must be clearly labeled with:

• Product name
• Handling instructions (e.g. “Keep Upright” / “Do Not Stack”)
• Hazard or UN labels if applicable

✅ 6. Additional Documentation

⚠️ Please note:

• Some shipping methods (e.g., Express Air) may not accept liquids or DG.
• Additional prep fees or documentation handling charges may apply.
• Not all freight forwarders will accept DG cargo — we recommend checking early.
