EPS Becomes the First Dominican Courier Certified to Handle Dangerous Goods In-House

At EPS, we continue to break barriers. Today, we’re proud to share a major milestone that not only highlights our commitment to operational excellence, but also brings direct benefits to you, our valued customer.

We are now the first and only Dominican courier certified to handle Dangerous Goods (DGD – Dangerous Goods Declaration) in-house, directly from our warehouse in the United States. This certification, granted under U.S. government safety regulations, represents a breakthrough for the entire logistics industry in the Dominican Republic.

What does this mean for you?

This isn’t just an achievement for EPS—it’s a guarantee of reliability, compliance, and efficiency for your shipments. Thanks to this international certification:

✅ We can process and track restricted goods faster, ensuring a smoother delivery experience.
✅ We now have greater autonomy and internal control, reducing operational risks and errors.
✅ We ensure full compliance with international safety standards, including TSA regulations.
✅ And best of all: we’re able to offer you lower rates.
