ACGC recently moved something most people would rather not touch: some jerrycans of toxic liquid. One wrong move and it could cause real trouble. Yet from the shipper’s door in Germany to Almaty it travelled as smoothly as a box of books.
The company experts checked every document twice, then carefully repacked it to full IATA DGR standards — like putting a wild animal into a perfectly designed cage.
The jerrycans were already solid, but we made the outer packaging, labels, marks and paperwork absolutely bullet-proof. CAO stickers went on, declarations were signed, and it was ready for the air.
First leg: RFS from Frankfurt to Hahn. A high-security truck that behaves exactly like a cargo plane on wheels left FRA and rolled into HHN the same evening. From there it flew via Baku and touched down in Almaty.
The whole journey felt almost routine… which is exactly the point. When you handle dangerous goods every day, the complicated becomes normal. Our team holds the proper IATA DGR certificates, and Aleksandr Zagorodniuk, Business Development Director in Central Asia, looks after the Kazakhstan side, so the last mile is just as carefully managed as the first.
Next time someone asks whether toxic and corrosive liquids can travel safely from Europe to Central Asia door-to-airport, you can smile and say: yes — when the people who know the rules are the ones handling the process.
