At the time a DGD is drawn up and the shipment is being prepared for air transport, it is often not known with which airline the shipment is booked.
Since your shipment is only checked after it has been delivered to the airline, there is often a residual risk, that your shipment does not comply with the regulations of the respective airline and for this reason cannot be transported further. Your shipment will not be loaded until all defects have been rectified, and that costs time and money.
Please take a look at our explanatory video, in which the DGD that has already been allready finished DGD is subsequently checked.
