Many companies ship items that require special attention or packaging. FedEx can ship dangerous goods with a variety of services.

To begin with, you cannot ship dangerous goods of any kind via FedEx International Next Flight service. Dry ice is the only category of hazardous goods shipped via FedEx International First. Only dangerous goods charges are assessed if a shipment contains both dry ice and dangerous goods (accessible or inaccessible). The dry-ice surcharge is not levied.
