To obtain a shipping quotation, please provide:
Once this information has been received, Le Maitre Ltd can obtain quotations from our approved shipping partners and provide the most suitable delivery options available.
Please note that shipping quotations cannot be obtained without a confirmed product list and delivery destination, as dangerous goods transport costs vary significantly depending on the products and country of destination.
Certain products may also be subject to export controls, carrier restrictions, import permits, customs clearance requirements, or additional dangerous goods surcharges depending on the destination country.
Customers may choose to arrange collection using their own freight forwarder or shipping agent.
Whilst we are happy to support customer-arranged collections, dangerous goods shipments require specific legal documentation before they can be transported. Where Le Maitre Ltd is required to prepare and certify this documentation, a documentation and compliance fee will apply.

Why Is There A Charge?
The Dangerous Goods Note (DGN) is a legal transport document required for the shipment of hazardous materials.
By issuing and signing the DGN, Le Maitre Ltd certifies that the goods have been correctly classified, packed, labelled, and prepared in accordance with applicable dangerous goods transport regulations.
As Le Maitre Ltd assumes responsibility for this certification and the associated liability, a documentation and compliance charge applies when customers choose to arrange their own collection.
