SHIPPING PAPER REQUIREMENTS

Normal documentation requirements are waived when transported by road. This aerosol is still hazmat, but it is not marked “HM” on the shipping document because it is not subject to documentation requirements. ORM-D or LQ may but should not be listed to allow mixed shipment of ORM-D and LQ packages; only “Aerosols” should be listed, and even that is not mandatory.
