Dangerous goods (also called Hazmat) are substances or materials that might pose a risk while storing, handling, or transporting because they contain flammable, pressurized, corrosive, or otherwise harmful substances. The list of products below does not contain every potential dangerous good in each category, but represent the types of dangerous goods that you might encounter among your listings, and can therefore serve as good examples to increase your ability to identify dangerous goods.

To learn more about dangerous goods, see the Dangerous goods identification guide.
