Hazardous Materials Shipping for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Dynamic Ship lets you declare non-regulated hazardous materials on a shipment and generate a carrier-compliant label without leaving Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Shipping clerks and warehouse teams use it to ship items such as small quantities of batteries, aerosols, or flammable liquids that qualify for limited-quantity or excepted-quantity handling. It is built for non-regulated hazmat only and is set per package at the point of shipping.
At a Glance
- Declare non-regulated hazmat codes on a package before generating the carrier label.
- Hazmat options are set per box, so mixed shipments can carry hazmat and standard packages together.
- A sample hazmat sticker report is available if you have Barcode Generator installed.

Key Capabilities
Per-package hazmat declaration. Hazmat codes are shipping options applied to individual license plates, so only the box that actually contains the material carries the declaration.
Carrier-specific code support. Each carrier accepts a different set of non-regulated hazmat codes, for example, limited quantity, lithium battery marked, or class-specific USPS codes, and Dynamic Ship exposes the codes that the carrier supports.
Compliant label generation. Once the hazmat code is set, the carrier label prints with the required hazmat declaration already included.
Sample sticker report. If Barcode Generator is installed, a sample WHMIS-style hazmat sticker report is available for your Microsoft Partner to customize to your packaging and jurisdiction.
Works within the standard packing flow. Hazmat declaration sits alongside other per-package shipping options, such as signature requirements or custom label text, so shippers do not leave the Package Worksheet to handle it.
How Hazardous Materials Shipping Works in Dynamic Ship
- The shipper packs the item into a license plate as usual, using the Package Worksheet or Order Packaging.
- Before generating the label, the shipper opens the package’s shipping options and selects the applicable hazmat code for the carrier being used.
- Dynamic Ship generates the carrier label with the hazmat declaration attached.
- The shipper applies the physical hazmat sticker and any required printed documentation to the package before it leaves the dock, since the accompanying report itself is not standardized and is not generated by Dynamic Ship.
Why Dynamic Ship Hazardous Materials Shipping Stands Out
Hazmat handling in Dynamic Ship stays inside the same packing and labeling screen your team already uses for every other shipment. There is no separate hazmat module to license or a different system to open when a hazardous item shows up in an order. The code is a shipping option on the box, set when the label is generated.
Who Uses Hazardous Materials Shipping
Shipping clerks packing orders that occasionally include items like batteries or small-quantity chemicals use this to add the correct hazmat code before printing the label, without routing the order to a specialist. Warehouse managers use it to standardize which hazmat codes are available for each carrier, so the packing floor doesn’t have to guess which declaration applies. Compliance-minded operations managers use the sample sticker report as a starting point; their Business Central partner can adapt it to the specific hazard classes their business ships.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dynamic Ship supports non-regulated hazardous materials shipping. You declare the applicable hazmat code as a per-package shipping option before generating the label. Fully regulated dangerous goods require a freight integration with a provider that supports regulated hazmat, which falls outside this scope.
Dynamic Ship declares the hazmat code on the carrier label itself. The physical hazmat sticker and any accompanying report are not standardized across countries, so they are not built into Dynamic Ship. If you have Barcode Generator installed, a sample sticker report is available for your Microsoft Partner to customize to your needs.
Yes. Hazmat declaration is a per-box setting so that a single order can include both standard packages and packages carrying a hazmat declaration. Each box is configured individually before its label is generated.
