Category A Infectious Substances

High-risk infectious material (UN 2814 / UN 2900) moved under full dangerous-goods discipline: PI 620 packaging, certified shippers, and route-specific paperwork.

Category A substances can cause life-threatening disease in healthy humans or animals, so every element of the shipment is regulated. We plan Category A moves one at a time: classification check, packaging specification, carrier acceptance, and import conditions are confirmed before anything is booked.

What a Category A move includes

  • UN 2814 (human) / UN 2900 (animal) classification review against IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations
  • Packing Instruction 620: certified 6.2 shippers, inner packaging, absorbent material, and itemized list of contents
  • Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods prepared and signed by trained staff
  • Carrier pre-acceptance checks and route approval for infectious-substance cargo
  • Import permits and consignee notification for the destination laboratory
  • Temperature hold (2–8 °C or frozen) maintained inside the certified packaging where required

If you are unsure whether your material is Category A or Category B, send us the safety data sheet or pathogen description — we will classify it conservatively and quote accordingly.
