Port of Tauranga Limited requires at least a two digit Dangerous Goods Definition (eg 2.1) on all declarations. If only a single digit is provided the consignment will be treated as the most hazardous of that Class.
This applies to ALL types of cargo whether FCL or LCL or Breakbulk or Bulk Liquid, and must include container numbers. The information is to be provided to the relevant Shift Supervisor or stevedore as may be applicable.
Please ensure that the container number, export vessel name and voyage number are entered on the Dangerous Goods Declaration.
