IATA Completing the Shipper's Declaration

The shipper must complete the Shipper's Declaration of Dangerous Goods form. The only sections that may be inserted or amended by a shipper's agent or the operator are the Air Waybill Number, Airport of Departure, or Airport of Destination boxes.

• First the shipper's full name and address must be entered, followed by the full name and address of the consignee.
• Next, enter the Air Waybill number to which the declaration will be attached. In the case of a consolidated shipment, enter the number of the House Air Waybill after the Air Waybill, separated by a forward slash (/).
• Then, enter the page number and total number of pages. If there is no extension list, enter "Page 1 of 1 pages."
• Next, the shipper must indicate whether the consignment is for "Passenger and Cargo Aircraft" or "Cargo Aircraft Only."
• The shipper may then enter the full name of the airport of departure and the airport of destination. This information is optional and may be left blank.

the shipper must indicate the shipment type as radioactive or non-radioactive. Radioactive material must not be included on the same declaration form as other dangerous goods, except for dry ice when used as a refrigerant.
