Who must sign the declaration form?

• A. Shipper
• B. Operator
• C. Consignee
• D. Regulatory Authority

Answer: (A)

The shipper signs the declaration form. The Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods is a legal statement made by the shipper (or an authorized agent) confirming that the dangerous goods have been properly described, classified, packaged, marked, and labeled, and that the shipment complies with applicable regulations such as the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. This signature affirms the accuracy of the information and authorizes air transport. The operator, consignee, or regulatory authority do not sign this specific declaration—the shipper does, sometimes through an authorized agent if allowed.
