How to ship dangerous goods
Dangerous goods may only be tendered to a Euromove Shipping Centre or driver by account customers, and not at a Euromove Drop Box or to a Euromove Authorized Shipping Agent.
A shipment containing dangerous goods is only accepted once a Euromove Dangerous Goods Specialist has verified the shipment at a Euromove facility.
