Re: Jailed For Sending Chemicals!

Daede1, pls don't take offense if the shoe doesn't fit, and I take your point re funny shipments being liable to slip through the larger ffs. And in chemicals there are quite a few very good specialist firms, mostly European. But that's not where the problem lies. I think people like Mr Chandnani (the shipper in question, named in the CAA link) are more likely to go to a small inexperienced consolidator than the KNs, DHLs or the specialist chemical ffs.

You're in the business so I'm sure you are very well aware of how stiff the competition for freight is. And of how that can lead service providers to sometimes cast a blind eye to the cargo's properties.

My bets would be on stiffer and stiffer regulation.
