Transport of dangerous goods and lithium batteries
Dangerous goods travel under special rules for each mode of transport. We check the classification, documents and packaging before loading, so problems are found before the journey and not at the border.

What we do
- Lithium batteries, on their own or in equipment.
- Dangerous goods by road (ADR), sea (IMDG) and air (IATA DGR).

Srdjan StojanovićDirector, Nexus Logistics
Are lithium batteries dangerous goods?
Yes. In transport, lithium batteries are class 9 dangerous goods, so they need the required packaging, labels and documents.
What is a safety data sheet?
A document from the manufacturer with data on composition, hazards and handling. It is the basis for deciding how the goods may travel.
Which mode of transport is possible?
It depends on the type and quantity of the goods. The rules differ for road, sea and air, so we confirm the options once we have the documents.
