We offer dangerous-goods sea exports from US ports. We do not offer domestic US road, rail or air transport.
The only US transport mode we offer
The IMDG Code governs the sea leg, but the constraint that actually bites is terminal acceptance: quantity caps, dwell limits and delivery windows that close earlier than the vessel cut-off, especially for Class 1.

Asked on the first call.
If yours is not here, it is the one worth phoning about.
Can you move Class 1 explosives from the United States by sea?
Yes. Class 1 has been our core business since 1989. For US-origin work, our offer is container stuffing and ocean freight from the agreed US port through the destination-port handover, subject to carrier and terminal acceptance.
Do you arrange road or rail transport inside the United States?
No. We do not offer inter-US road, rail or air transport. The customer arranges delivery to the agreed stuffing or port location; our US offer is outbound sea freight.
What part of the shipment do you handle?
We stuff the export container, coordinate marks, labels and placards, reconcile the dangerous-goods and export file, secure ocean carrier and terminal acceptance, and manage the sea leg through destination-port handover.
How far ahead should we start?
Earlier than most people expect, because the long pole is rarely the transport. Authority approval, container stuffing, terminal acceptance and vessel booking for Class 1 all run on their own clocks and several of them are sequential. Bring us in while the cargo details are still open and the sailing options are still wide.
What must the customer arrange?
The customer is responsible for getting the cargo to the agreed US stuffing or port location and for arranging any inland movement after the destination-port handover.
What do you need for a first answer?
Send the UN number, class, quantity, container details, US port of loading, destination port and requested sailing window. We will identify the remaining acceptance and document questions.

The US sea-export file
The port is part of the plan.
A compliant container still needs an ocean carrier, terminal and destination port that accept the same cargo on the same sailing.
Container stuffing
We stuff the export container and coordinate its marks, labels and placards.
Port acceptance
The carrier, terminal and destination port must all accept the same cargo and sailing.
