Is an SDS required for all chemical shipments?

Safety Data Sheets are mandatory for all ADR substances and recommended for all B2B chemical shipments. The SDS must be in the consignee country's language or in English, depending on destination requirements.

What equipment does ADR transport require?

The driver must hold a valid ADR certificate for the applicable class. The vehicle requires orange plates, a certified fire extinguisher, emergency equipment and personal protective equipment (protective suit, gloves, goggles). Some loads require an EX/II or EX/III approved vehicle.

Can ADR and non-ADR goods be combined in the same load?

Yes, when ADR classification permits it and the combined quantities do not exceed LQ (Limited Quantities) or exemption thresholds. We check compatibility and document compliance before loading.

What documents are required for chemical export from Latvia?

Export requires: EX1 customs declaration, CMR, commercial invoice, packing list, SDS and ADR transport document. For routes through third countries, a T1 transit procedure applies.
