How to Ship FedEx Dangerous Goods

Dangerous Goods, abbreviated DG, are substances that could potentially risk health, safety, property, or the environment during transport.

To utilize FedEx DG capability, you will need to add DG to individual products:

You will then need to engage ShipHero customer support and provide the type of product this is and the product description. An example would be a Flammable substance - lighter.

NOTE: In some cases ShipHero will need to reach out to FedEx to get the Dangerous Goods code which can add time to the process.


Once ShipHero has the information for the DG product, ShipHero will create an automation rule for the particular product or list of products.
