Vérifier le risque d'itinéraireQ2 — Can I hand‑write the whole label?
Only the poids may be hand‑written. “UN 1845” and “Dry Ice” must be pre‑printed ≥ 6 mm.
Q3 — Are QR codes mandatory now?
Not yet, but 67 % of IATA carriers accept e‑Docs only via QR—adding one slashes acceptance time.
Q4 — Best adhesive for –78 °C?
Polyurethane cryogenic‑grade tested to ADR P620 drop criteria.
Q5 — Dry ice vs packs de gel?
Use dry ice for ≤ –20 °C lanes ≥ 24 h; switch to gel for 2–8 °C lanes or same‑day e‑commerce.
