Hazardous vs Non-hazardous Shipping

Hazardous vs Non-hazardous Shipping

  • Generally, products containing less than 0.2% v/v acid can be shipped as non-hazardous goods. Some UN codes (four digit code used to identify hazardous goods for international shipping) may override this threshold depending on their particular associated risks.
  • The Department of Transportation requires additional safety measures in packaging, labeling, stowage, and handling for any product marked ‘hazardous’, as these types of products are determined to pose a threat to human health and/or safety.
