GoFreight supports identifying cargo as Hazardous / Dangerous Goods (HAZ/ DG) and defining whether it is stackable for Air shipments.
These settings can be configured at the quotation stage and will automatically carry over when creating a shipment.
The following steps demonstrate the full workflow using an Air Import example, from quotation creation to shipment generation.
Step-by-Step Guide

Step 2: Select Shipping Type: Air Import.
Step 3: In the Basic Information section, switch on the More fields.
Step 4: Under the Commodity field, you will find Cargo Type and Stackable fields.
