Basic checklist to ship either a UN specified or Limited Quantity package:
- Identify Proper Shipping Name in the List of Dangerous Goods (blue pages).
- Identify the class/division, packing group, and UN number.
- Identify whether the dangerous goods are forbidden
- If not forbidden, identify the packing group of the proper shipping name if applicable
- Choose the packaging instruction (yellow pages), and pack accordingly
- Mark and label the packages correctly
- Complete the Shipper's Declaration and air waybill/consignment note correctly
- If sending more than one class of dangerous good in a package, refer to Table 9.3.A IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations to determine if they are compatible
- If not compatible, you must package the dangerous goods in individual packaging according to the appropriate packing instructions
The following example demonstrates how to mark and label a UN Fibreboard box containing 5 Litres of UN1170 Ethanol as well as prepare the Shipper's Declaration and Air Waybill:
Step 1. This package is a representation of Class 3 Flammable Liquid.
Test your understanding: Drag the labels off the "label pallet" and position them appropriately on the fibreboard box.
Step 2. Below is the Shipper's Declaration Form associated to the above package. Our Dangerous Goods aircraft will help you to complete the form.
