IATA has launched DG Digital as a feature of DG AutoCheck. The tool digitalises declarations for over 3,800 dangerous items and enables faster sharing, improves safety and reduces rejected shipments.
Trials in Japan have shown rejection rates educed to 0.5pc.
Frederic Leger shared “IATA’s Dangerous Goods Regulations are focused on reducing complexity and improving safety in the shipment of dangerous goods. DG Digital supports this by digitalizing the shipper’s declaration process, providing all stakeholders, from shipping agents and freight forwarders to ground handlers and airlines, access to the same document. This supports the rapid resolution of any issues in the documentation before an item is physically shipped.”
