Assign DHL Express dangerous goods to an order via rules

To assign dangerous goods types via the rule follow the below steps:

  1. In Starshipit, navigate to Settings > Rules.
  2. Create a new rule with any condition e.g SKU equals 12345.
  3. Select the action Set Dangerous Goods Type.
  4. Enter the contentId of the Dangerous Goods type you are using (contentId can be found in the above table).
  5. Click Save.
  6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each dangerous goods type you would like to set.

On import, if the value added matches a contentID (from the table above), any order meeting the conditions of the rule will be set with the specified contentID and will see the Dangerous Goods option ticked in the UI and in the shipping breakdown within an order. If the value does not match any contentID, no changes will be made to orders meeting the conditions of the rule.

Important

  • Starshipit currently supports one dangerous goods type per order, if you are sending multiple dangerous goods in one shipment you will need to split the order.
  • At this time, Starshipit does not support Dry Ice for dangerous goods type.
