  • There should be DG paperwork printing against the connote.
    • However the reason the DG declaration prints out with the manifest is because this follows the chain of responsibility when transporting dangerous goods.


Manifesting is the process of confirming the freight that will be shipped under a specific service and as a result the freight that is going to be placed on the Truck.

  • This is the reason that the declaration must be signed  at this stage.
  • This is also why each consignment must have its own declaration


Prior to this the creation of a consignment is not confirmation that it will be shipped on a specific date with a specific carrier, as a result this is not suitable for a declaration of the shipment of dangerous goods.

With that in mind, there should not be no requirement to manifest these consignments individually with the appropriate paperwork being printed out.
