MSDS Sheets For Shipping Speakers Internationally?


Hello,

I purchased a pair of speakers from a seller overseas who is getting grief from the shipping company over needing MSDS certification for them.  The speakers are Harbeth.  The seller contacted Harbeth about this and was told that no such certificate has ever been required for their speakers.  
Anyone ever experience this?  What would you do to resolve it?

Thanks!

Magnets are classified in some circumstances as dangerous goods in transportation by air but magnets used in speakets are with very low environment influence so can not classified as hazardous goods .
One solution is to make sea transportation which is less sensitive to magnets, second option is to you use less rigid forwarder to despatch the speakers by air.

I personally think that you should cancel this order .

However it’s very strange that Harbeth can’t provide formal MSDS proving that their products are not classified as hazardous for air transportation!
