Have you ever been stopped by customs for carrying perfume in your hand luggage? Then
you would probably know that perfumes are flagged by customs because they are classified as
dangerous goods. Let’s learn why.
Perfumes contain alcohol. The high alcohol content in perfumes makes them flammable, posing
risks during transit. Transporting large amounts of risky goods doesn’t sound easy, but it is definitely
manageable. With the right precautions and adhering to the regulations, it is as easy as getting
yourself on-board.
Fact-check before Shipping perfumes from UAE
Understanding Regulations
Perfumes are classified under the UN 1266 category of dangerous goods. This means
they must be packed, labeled, and documented according to international standards set
by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Maritime
Organization (IMO).
Choosing the Best Carrier
Consider the experienced carrier who is reliable in handling dangerous goods. Discuss
the nature of your shipment with them, to ensure adherence to all safety protocols.
Accurate Documentation and Labeling
Include a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the perfume, detailing its composition
and hazards.
Maintaining a Declaration Form
Prepare a proper declaration form for the perfume shipment in UAE.
Essential Packaging Precautions
● Use of robust, corrugated boxes.
● Cushion the container adequately inside the box with bubble wrap or foam peanuts to
prevent breakage.
● Wrap each container separately to avoid breakage or damage.
● Use leak-proof containers to prevent spills and ensure that they are tightly sealed.
● Avoid overpacking to reduce the risk of pressure build-up.
● Ship in smaller quantities to minimize hazards.
The Final Checklist
● Check if your shipping is packed, labelled and documented according to the
requirement.
● Ensure the package is clearly labeled as containing flammable liquids.
● Monitor weather conditions, as extreme temperatures can affect the integrity of the
packaging.
