Hazard Codes
Hazardous Materials Service Definition
Transportation of hazardous materials is
allowed only within and between the 50 United States and Puerto Rico. It is the shipper´s responsibility:
To determine if a package contains a hazardous material, and to properly classify, label, mark, and package it in accordance
with government regulations.
To ensure that all of their employees who handle hazardous materials (as defined in 49 CFR) are properly trained, tested, and certified as specified in the regulations to comply with all current government regulations or applicable laws.
For each hazardous materials package requiring shipping papers under 49
CFR Section 172.000, an additional charge will be assessed and will not
qualify for special freight programs. For further information regarding
the shipment of Hazardous Materials, contact your carrier or consult
Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations and Transportation.
NOTICE: Shipments containing any hazardous material
are exempt from any freight program offered by Angrave Metrology & Supply.
UPS & Hazmat Regulations
This online guide for our hazardous materials customers will help you comply
with the limitations and other requirements (variations) for our
service offerings. However, all hazardous materials must be prepared in
accordance with the appropriate federal Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMR). These regulations can be found in Title 49 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (49 CFR).* This guide is not intended to replace
the federal regulations but rather is to be used in conjunction with
them.** The HMR changes periodically, and it is your responsibility to
comply with the most current standards.
As a UPS hazardous
materials contract customer, you must comply not only with 49 CFR but
also with UPS carrier variations for domestic air and ground hazardous
materials shipments. For help meeting package preparation and
documentation requirements, and UPS variations, we have trained
hazardous materials specialists available by phone. Simply call our
Hazardous Materials Support Center at 1-800-554-9964 between 8:00 a.m.
Monday and 6:00 a.m. Saturday, Eastern Time.
Restrictions in
this UPS guide that exceed governmental regulations are established due
to the UPS "conditions incident to transportation." Packages not
meeting all these standards will not be accepted by UPS.
This
guide is not intended as, nor should it be considered, a statement of
safety precautions to be followed by a customer (shipper) or any other
person who is handling, stowing, or transporting any hazardous
materials. Nor is it to be used as a guide for service commitments.
Please consult the applicable UPS service guides for further
information.
If you have any questions about shipping hazardous
materials with UPS, please call the UPS Hazardous Materials Support
Center at 1-800-554-9964.
* The U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) enacts and enforces all hazardous materials
transportation law in the United States. It has jurisdiction over all
interstate, intrastate, and foreign transportation of hazardous
materials on aircraft, railcars, vessels, and highway carriers and
shippers in the United States. 49 CFR may be purchased from the
Government Printing Office, local Government bookstores, or hazardous
materials supply dealers.
** Compliance with DOT regulations is
a requirement for any person who offers a hazardous materials shipment.
Non-compliance with the federal HMR could result in civil or even
criminal penalties by the appropriate federal agencies. For more
