Important information on dry ice
- Provided it is correctly declared, packing dry ice is generally permissible in General Cargo shipments.
- However, re-icing of General Cargo shipments cannot be provided, not even in the event of irregularities or if a temperature (range) had been stated on an AWB for a General Cargo shipment.
- If a shipment requires re-icing or has other special requirements, please choose a relevant Product or Add-on Service, which covers such needs. Please see the other Product pages on this website for more details or ask your Lufthansa Cargo Sales contact in case of questions.
