Dangerous Goods Declaration, Booking Acceptance & Documentation Readiness Tool

Screen user-entered DG transport details against booking records, track declaration and packing evidence, and identify the exact commercial/operational gates blocking cargo acceptance. Show how unresolved paperwork can affect the cut-off window without claiming to validate an IMDG classification.

7-stage booking pathway Booking vs DGD field checks Container packing certificates Carrier / terminal approvals Cut-off & cost exposure

12-input DG booking readiness screenEnter shipper-provided details and status checks. A complete-looking document is not proof of correct IMDG classification, compliant packing, segregation, or carrier/terminal acceptance.

Multi-line DG declaration auditEdit dangerous goods lines, container packing records, evidence documents, release approvals and discrepancy closeout actions in five registers below. The model compares what was entered, not an official Dangerous Goods List database.

Critical boundary: This Tool is not a dangerous-goods classifier, IMDG Dangerous Goods List, segregation engine, packing approval, inspection certificate, or booking-acceptance system. Confirm each UN entry, proper shipping name, class/division, subsidiary risk, packing group where applicable, special provisions, marine pollutant status, package/CTU requirements and carrier restrictions in the current applicable IMDG Code and with qualified parties. The results are internal document-screening indicators only.

Dangerous Goods Line / Booking Match Register

Compare declared fields to the carrier booking copy. A matching UN number or class does NOT confirm that the information is technically correct. Packing group may be N/A where the applicable Code permits; verify separately.

Use	Line ID	DGD UN	DGD proper shipping name	Class / division	PG	Packages	Gross kg	Booking UN	Booking shipping name	Booking class	Booking PG	Classification checked?	Remove

Container / CTU Packing & Marking Register

Container/vehicle packing certificate, marks/placards, weight information and stowage requirements are independent review items. Each row represents one packing record. Enter identifiers for local review only; free text is excluded from Tool Data recording.

Use	Container / CTU	DG packages	DG gross kg	Packing certificate	Placards / marks	VGM / weights	Stowage review	Remove

Declarations & Supporting Evidence Register

Include relevant mandatory or shipment-specific documents. A document marked verified without a supporting reference remains an evidence hold. N/A must be justified by the responsible reviewer; this Tool does not decide applicability.

Use	Document / evidence	Required?	Status	Document reference / reviewer	Lead to close (h)	Remove

Carrier, Terminal & Routing Approval Gates

These are external acceptance decisions. Only a user-entered Verified status with traceable evidence counts as a verified gate; the Tool never submits an actual DG booking.

Use	External approval / review	Critical?	Status	Evidence / approval reference	Lead to close (h)	Remove

Discrepancy, Amendment & Closeout Register

Critical open discrepancies hold acceptance. “Resolved” requires a supporting reference. Estimated hours are planning inputs; parallel closeout is assumed before sequential external approvals.

Use	Issue / amendment	Priority	Status	Closeout (h)	One-time fee $	Evidence / resolution	Remove
