Execution You Can Rely On

Specialised Solutions for Dangerous & Hazardous Goods

Planning-led solutions that remove guesswork from hazardous cargo movements.

01

Classification & Compliance Pre-Checks

Clearances are planned backward from your required date, with document checks, filings, and duty payments aligned to avoid delays.

Dangerous goods are evaluated before movement begins. Classification, SDS/MSDS, DG declarations, and packaging details are reviewed to ensure the cargo is eligible to move under applicable regulations.

  • Correct DG Classification
  • SDS / MSDS Verification
  • Eligibility Confirmation

02

Documentation-First Planning

Clearances are planned backward from your required date, with document checks, filings, and duty payments aligned to avoid delays.

For DG cargo, documentation is as critical as the cargo itself. Declarations are aligned precisely with classification, packaging, and regulatory requirements to avoid misrepresentation and risk.

  • Accurate Declarations
  • Regulation-Aligned Filings
  • No Re-Descriptions

03

Carrier-Acceptance Routing

Clearances are planned backward from your required date, with document checks, filings, and duty payments aligned to avoid delays.

Not all carriers or routes accept all DG categories. Routing is planned around what carriers, terminals, and authorities will formally accept—never around convenience.

  • DG-Accepting Carriers
  • Route Feasibility Checks
  • Restriction-Aware Planning

04

Packaging & Labelling Discipline

Clearances are planned backward from your required date, with document checks, filings, and duty payments aligned to avoid delays.

Packaging and labelling are reviewed to ensure compliance with DG standards. Movements proceed only where packaging meets regulatory and carrier acceptance norms.

  • Compliant Packaging
  • Correct Labelling
  • Handling Readiness

05

Controlled Handling & Partners

Clearances are planned backward from your required date, with document checks, filings, and duty payments aligned to avoid delays.

DG cargo is handled only through vetted partners who are equipped and trained to manage hazardous materials responsibly.

  • Vetted DG Partners
  • Controlled Touchpoints
  • Safe Handling Practices

06

Pre-Arrival Risk Management

Clearances are planned backward from your required date, with document checks, filings, and duty payments aligned to avoid delays.

Additional checks and buffers are built into the plan to account for heightened scrutiny, approvals, or inspections associated with DG cargo.

  • Early Risk Identification
  • Built-In Time Buffers
  • Clear Communication

As I am now leaving the BBC, I thought I would drop you a line to wish you well for the future. I am grateful to you for all your efforts on behalf of the Eastern Service. You have helped us to keep in touch with our listeners – and have done so with dispatch and economy. I have also enjoyed our many meetings on my visits to Delhi and the hospitality and kindness which you have always shown me. With best wishes for the future.

David Page

Former Editor - BBC South Asian Services

The remarkable man at the BBC Delhi office, known to us as Bali Sahib, was a customs clearing agent who, in my time, would ride his scooter to the airport at any hour and in any weather — even to clear a single radio cassette bound for London. It was an essential service, delivered with dedication by a man we deeply admired.

Sir Mark Tully

British Journalist and Bureau Chief - BBC New Delhi

Over the years, we’ve brought some of our most complex international films to India, including Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Slumdog Millionaire, Holy Smoke, and many others. Through shifting plans, evolving customs requirements, and demanding schedules, Bali And Company has been the one constant we’ve relied on. Their expertise, strong on-ground relationships, and ability to keep equipment moving smoothly have made a real difference. What truly sets them apart is their commitment. They treat every project as their own and stay involved until the very end. We can recommend Bali And Company without hesitation — they’ve earned our trust through years of consistent, thoughtful work.

Productions like The Amazing Race demand flawless logistics, with equipment and crews moving between cities overnight and no margin for error. Bali And Company has handled this pressure with calm precision season after season, anticipating challenges and ensuring everything is in place before it’s needed.Across other sensitive and fast-paced projects as well, they’ve shown consistency, discretion, and reliability. It’s rare to find a logistics partner who can keep pace with the unpredictability of television, and that is why we’ve continued working with Bali And Company for many years.
