The system can create a shipper's declaration for dangerous goods in a freight booking. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) requires that all shipments tendered to air carriers and air freight forwarders classified by regulation as dangerous goods are accompanied by the IATA shipper's declaration for dangerous goods. The shipper is responsible for correctly and accurately completing the form in accordance with current IATA requirements and for ensuring that all requirements have been met including packaging, labelling, and product information.

Based on the freight booking, the system looks up the relevant dangerous goods master and generates a declaration that specifies the nature and quantity of dangerous goods. The shipper's declaration also provides information about the type of packing material.

You can view this document in the Output Management tab of the freight order.

In endorsing this document, you declare that all applicable air transport requirements have been met.

As the IATA shipper's declaration for dangerous goods is a complex document, SAP provides a template which must be implemented and reviewed by the shipper. The shipper must adapt the form according to its own processes, with particular attention to the packing function and to country-specific deviations.
