Frequently Asked Questions

The most reliable way to identify a dangerous good is by checking the manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Specifically, look at Section 14, titled 'Transportation Information,' which indicates if the item is regulated for air travel. You should also look for hazard symbols or warning labels on the product's original packaging before packing.

Many cleaning supplies contain chemicals that are classified as hazardous materials, such as corrosives or flammables. If a product is identified as a dangerous good in its SDS, it is strictly prohibited from both carry-on and checked baggage. Always verify the chemical composition and transport regulations of any household product before bringing it to the airport.

If your item is confirmed as a regulated dangerous good, you must not pack it in your carry-on or checked baggage. These items are generally not allowed on passenger aircraft due to safety risks. You should look for specific exceptions provided by the FAA or TSA, or contact your airline for guidance on specialized shipping methods.

Most manufacturers provide SDS documents on their official websites, often under a 'Resources' or 'Product Safety' section. You can also search online using the product name followed by the acronym 'SDS'. If the document is not available online, you should contact the manufacturer's customer service department to request the latest version.
