Dangerous Goods Declaration - Document Skill

Extract data from Dangerous Goods Declarations (DGD) — IATA-compliant transport documents declaring hazardous goods, classes, packaging, and emergency contacts.

The Dangerous Goods Declaration skill extracts data from Dangerous Goods Declarations (DGDs) — the transport documents shippers compile to confirm that hazardous goods have been packed, marked, and declared in accordance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

A Dangerous Goods Declaration contains required information necessary to transport the goods without any health and safety risks, as well as without danger to the environment and infrastructure. This information can contain the following:

• The class of the dangerous goods and their packaging type
• The special provision number
• A hazardous material emergency response number.

The most common types of dangerous goods have UN-assigned four-digit ID’s.

Declarations of Dangerous Goods, along with other transport documents required for shipping, must accompany each package and consignment of dangerous goods.

The Dangerous Goods Declaration skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a limited set of documents and is designed to help you quickly get started with processing dangerous goods declarations. For production use, you may need to uptrain the skill with your own document samples.
