Aerospace Industry Dangerous Goods, Cleared for YYZ.
Exporting aircraft parts, avionics batteries, pressurized components, or life-saving equipment by air out of Toronto Pearson (YYZ)? AÉRO-DG classifies, packages, and documents aerospace industry materials to IATA dangerous goods requirements.
Pressurized Aircraft Components Get Flagged at the Cargo Counter.
Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, small gas cylinders in oxygen and fire suppression systems, avionics batteries, and life vests or evacuation slides with inflation cartridges are all regulated dangerous goods. Shipping any of these by air without the correct classification, packaging, and Shipper's Declaration means the airline rejects it at acceptance. We handle the classification, packaging, and documentation so your aerospace shipment clears YYZ the first time.
What AÉRO-DG Does for Aerospace Shippers
Pressurized Component & Gas Cylinder Packaging
- → Hydraulic & pneumatic actuators, struts, dampers: pressurized-article packaging
- → Small gas cylinders (oxygen, fire suppression): classification by gas type
- → Residual fuel & hydraulic fluid drainage verification for engine and airframe parts
- → SDS/parts documentation review to confirm which components are DG-regulated
Avionics Battery & Life-Safety Equipment Compliance
- → Avionics & test equipment batteries: lithium battery packaging
- → Self-inflating life vests, rafts & evacuation slides: certified packaging
- → Emergency locator transmitter battery classification and Watt-hour verification
- → Documentation signed by an IATA-certified DG specialist
UN-certified packaging and IATA documentation prepared for aerospace manufacturers, MRO shops, and aircraft parts suppliers shipping through Toronto Pearson (YYZ).
How It Works
Tell us what's shipping
Aircraft part, avionics battery, gas cylinder, or life-saving equipment - send us the part number or SDS so we can confirm the correct classification.
We package and verify compliance
Certified packaging matched to the hazard class, residual fuel/fluid drainage confirmed, and battery Watt-hour ratings verified where applicable.
We prepare documents and tender at YYZ
Shipper's Declaration completed to the correct hazard class, then tendered through the YYZ freight cargo process for your booked flight.
Built for Aerospace & Aviation Shippers
From a single AOG part to recurring MRO shipments, we work the way aerospace companies actually ship - correctly classed, on time for YYZ cargo departures.
Aircraft Parts Suppliers
Shipping hydraulic actuators, struts, or pressurized components? We handle certified packaging so your part clears the cargo counter.
MRO & Maintenance Shops
Need an AOG part shipped fast with correct DG documentation? We prioritize classification and packaging so downtime stays short.
Avionics & Equipment Manufacturers
Shipping avionics units or test equipment with lithium batteries? We manage classification and Watt-hour verification.
Aerospace Logistics & Procurement
Need a DG specialist to keep recurring aerospace exports moving through YYZ? We work with logistics and procurement teams to keep documentation ready ahead of each shipment.
Aerospace Exporters Ask Us
Why are aircraft parts classified as Dangerous Goods for air shipping?
Hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, struts, and dampers used in aircraft assemblies are pressurized components classed as a miscellaneous hazard, because the stored pressure itself is a hazard risk regardless of the fluid or gas inside.
How are small gas cylinders used in aircraft systems classified?
Small compressed gas cartridges - used in oxygen systems, fire suppression, and emergency equipment - are classed by whether the gas is flammable, non-flammable, or toxic, and packaged and documented accordingly.
Do avionics and test equipment batteries need dangerous goods documentation?
Yes. Lithium-ion batteries powering avionics units, emergency locator transmitters, and ground test equipment - whether standalone or packed with equipment - are subject to Watt-hour based classification and packaging requirements.
How are life vests and inflatable emergency equipment classified?
Self-inflating life-saving appliances - life vests, life rafts, and evacuation slides with a pyrotechnic or compressed-gas inflation mechanism - are regulated dangerous goods due to the small gas cartridge or pyrotechnic charge that triggers inflation.
Can AÉRO-DG handle a rejected aerospace parts shipment at YYZ?
Yes. If your aircraft part, avionics battery, or life-saving equipment shipment received a Notice of Discrepancy (NOD) from Air Canada Cargo, WestJet, or another carrier at Pearson Airport, our fast-track team verifies classification, repacks to certified specification, and re-documents it for same-day re-tender where possible.
