What kind of cargo should be identified by air?

1. Goods with magnetic properties

According to the International Air Transport Agreement, any magnetic field intensity at 2.1m of the surface of the object under test should be less than 0.159 a/m (200 nt) before it can be used for general cargo transportation (for general cargo identification). All cargo containing magnetic materials will generate magnetic field in space. In order to ensure flight safety, magnetic cargo needs to be inspected safely.

2. Powder goods

Goods in powder form must provide air transport identification reports, such as diamond powder, spirulina powder and various plant extracts.
