  • What should be considered for national shipping?

    • Transport-appropriate packaging: The packaging should be suitable for the size, weight and nature of the goods and provide sufficient protection during transport and sorting.
    • Correct shipping labelling: Each parcel requires a clearly legible shipping label. Old labels and barcodes should be removed completely.
    • Observe dangerous goods regulations: Before shipping, check whether the dangerous goods are approved for transport with GLS and ensure all applicable dangerous goods regulations are complied with. Find out more about dangerous goods transport here.
