The API makes it possible to provide and process shipment information for dangerous goods in order to ensure the safe and legally compliant transport of these materials. Specific information is required for precise processing, such as UN number, packaging type, weight and risk classification of the dangerous goods. This information complies with the standards of the ADR (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road) and facilitates compliance with international safety regulations.

The detailed information for dangerous good must be included in lines item (dangerousGoods) and is required if you ship dangerous goods.

This documentation explains the JSON format in which all necessary information for the preparation of quotations and orders should be transmitted.

Here is an example of a shipment of lithium-ion batteries.
