Hazardous Materials Shipping — Frequently Asked Questions

Does my product qualify as a dangerous good under the TDG Act?

Many common products — paint, batteries, cleaning supplies, aerosols, and adhesives — are classified as dangerous goods under Canada's TDG Act. The easiest way to check is your product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS), Section 14: Transport Information. If you're unsure, contact Loadify's team and we'll help you confirm classification before booking.

What documentation is required to ship hazardous materials in Canada?

You'll need a Safety Data Sheet (SDS), a completed Dangerous Goods Declaration with the proper shipping name and UN number, UN-certified packaging appropriate for your packing group, and correct TDG hazard labels on all packaging. Loadify's team reviews and prepares all required documentation before every HAZMAT shipment moves.

Can Loadify ship hazardous materials across the Canada-US border?

Yes. Loadify coordinates cross-border HAZMAT shipments between Canada and the US, ensuring compliance with both Transport Canada TDG regulations and US DOT requirements. Our team handles all cross-border documentation, customs clearance, and carrier verification for dangerous goods crossing the border.
