Important
Before sending dangerous goods, you must obtain approval from StarTrack first.
Adding dangerous goods in Starshipit

Premium services
If you need to print orders containing dangerous goods on FPP or PRM (with StarTrack's approval), you will need to follow the steps below:
- Before printing the order, ensure that the Dangerous Goods tickbox under the order options is unchecked.
- Once you have printed the order, complete the IATA form here.
- Hand the completed IATA form to the delivery driver on pick-up.
Applying dangerous goods using rules
Once you’ve set up dangerous goods in Starshipit, you can apply them using rules. Any rules containing a dangerous good which has not been set up in your Starshipit settings will be ignored.
To assign dangerous goods using rules, follow the below steps:
- Navigate to Settings > Rules.
- Create a new rule with any condition. E.g. SKU equals 12345.
- Set the action to Set Dangerous Goods Type.
- Set the value to StarTrack.
- In the field next to Value, enter the identification number (UN Number/Commodity ID number) of the dangerous good you’ve set up in Starshipit.
- On import, all details will be copied from the dangerous goods you’ve set up to the order.
