Dangerous Goods

Dangerous Goods tendered to RUSH must be accompanied by a minimum of two copies of Shipper-prepared shipping papers, executed in accordance with Title 49CFR, ICAO, or lATA. Dangerous Goods must be shipped on separate Airfreight Waybills. All shipments must be packaged and limited to the material and quantities authorized by air transportation according to the current requirements of 49CFR, ICAO, or lATA. RUSH's delivery target times do not apply to shipments of Dangerous Goods. Some RUSH stations are not eligible Dangerous Goods origins or destinations.

RUSH will assess an additional special handling fee of $40.00 per Airfreight Waybill for all Dangerous Goods shipments.

If a shipment containing Dangerous Goods is refused by the Consignee, leaks or is damaged, the shipment will be returned to the Shipper, if possible. If the Shipper refuses to accept the returned shipment or it cannot be returned because of leakage or damage due to faulty packaging, the Shipper is responsible and fully indemnifies RUSH for reimbursement of all costs and fees of any type connected with the legal disposal of the shipment, and all costs and fees of any type connected with' cleanup of any spill or leakage and any claim, fines and penalties which any third party may assert against RUSH.
