Authorization Requirements
As one may expect the transport of dangerous goods may require additional authorization to be obtained. Both regulatory requirements and internal policies require additional approvals to be sought. These are put in place to ensure only authorized persons may receive the material and that the appropriate permits and licences are obtained to ensure an expedient transfer of material. Failure to obtain these authorizations may result in your shipment being stuck in customs, seized and the involvement of the RCMP or other regulatory bodies.
Situations which may engage this additional step are those that involve:
- controlled goods
- biological samples and/or pathogenic, infectious materials
- radioactive materials
- international shipments
- Dangerous goods shipments
