UPS dangerous goods

Starshipit supports UPS Ready for shipment of dangerous goods, providing a streamlined process for handling these sensitive items.

To start shipping dangerous goods with UPS through Starshipit, you’ll need to follow these steps:

1. Add dangerous goods to your settings:

You’ll need to add each dangerous good to your Starshipit settings. This involves specifying the type and nature of the hazardous materials, ensuring all details are correctly documented.

2. Get approval from UPS:

Before you can use UPS Ready to ship dangerous goods, you need approval from UPS. Contact your UPS account manager to discuss your requirements and ensure you have the necessary permissions. This approval process means that your shipments comply with all UPS and regulatory guidelines.

3. Set up dangerous goods in Starshipit:

Once you’re approved and you have all your items added, you can configure your Starshipit account to manage these shipments. You can set rules within Starshipit to automatically classify orders containing dangerous goods, or you can set a default ‘dangerous goods’ type for these shipments. This automation reduces the risk of errors and ensures that all dangerous goods are correctly identified and processed.

Shipping dangerous goods requires meticulous attention to detail and adherence to strict regulations. With Starshipit’s UPS integration, you can manage these shipments efficiently, ensuring compliance and safety at every step.
