IMO Dangerous Goods
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products. MSDSs are a widely used system for cataloguing information on chemicals, chemical compounds, and chemical mixtures. MSDS information may include instructions for the safe use and potential hazards associated with a particular material or product, along with spill-handling procedures. The older MSDS formats could vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements; however, the newer MSDS format is internationally standardized. In Chapter 14 you can find information for the safe transportation of the product, IMO Class, Un.No and the Packing Group (P.G).
Creation of IMO Declaration and Certification:
- SHIPPER/CONSIGNEE
- COLLA
- NET & GROSS WEIGHT
- IMO CLASS
- UN NUMBER (UN.NO)
- PACKING GROUP (G)
- VESSEL
- DATE

In cases where the invoice value is below 15.000€ then it should be written the above:
- Gross Weight
- Colla
- “T2L EXPORT CUSTOMS ….. (place where cargo was exported)”
It is of high importance that the original invoice is accompanied with the cargo and has the company’s stamp and signature. In cases where the invoice value is above 15.000€ then a T2L document should be issued.
