Dry Ice Shipments

UN 1845 refrigeration done properly: PI 954 packaging, net-weight declarations, ventilation rules, and enough coolant budgeted for delays.

Dry ice keeps samples deeply frozen, but it is itself a dangerous good: it sublimates, displaces oxygen, and is quantity-limited by every carrier. A dry-ice booking that ignores sublimation math arrives warm after one missed connection — so we do the math for the full, realistic transit time.

How we handle dry ice

  • Packing Instruction 954 packaging with ventilation and UN 1845 marking, net weight declared per package
  • Sublimation budget for the realistic route time, plus buffer for connections and customs holds
  • Carrier-specific quantity limits checked before booking (they differ — significantly)
  • Dry-ice training documentation available on request for your quality file
  • Combined UN 3373 + UN 1845 handling when a frozen biological substance travels on dry ice
  • Re-icing arrangements on long-haul or multi-leg routes where available

Send us the route and target temperature — we will size the dry ice, choose the shipper, and declare it correctly.
