SHIPPING PAPER REQUIREMENTS

Normal documentation requirements are waived when transported by road. This ammo is still hazmat, but it is not marked as hazmat on the shipping document because it is not subject to documentation requirements.  To allow mixed shipment of ORM-D and LQ packages, ORM-D or LQ should not be written in the description; only “Cartridges for weapons, inert projectile” should be listed, and even that is not mandatory.
