  4. Questions to be Answered Prior to Shipping Dangerous Goods • To ship any material from one point to another, three questions must be answered. • Does the material I am shipping meet the definition of a dangerous good ? • What mode of transportation will be used? • What carriers, forwarders or contractors will be used?

  5. A Shipping Process

  6. The Compliance Equation Compliance w/ International Regulations Compliance w/ DOT Haz Mat Regulations Total Compliance = +

  7. The Compliance Equation Compliance means: Compliance with International Regulations Compliance with DOT Haz Mat Regulations AND because: DOT Regulations and International Regulations are not identical.

  8. The Compliance Equation Compliance means: Compliance with AND Compliance with TDG Regulation IMDG Code ICAO Technical Instructions/ IATA DG Regulations IAEA Regulations Subpart C of Part 171 —Authorization and Requirements for the Use of International Transport Standards and Regulations

  9. The Compliance Equation Compliance means: Compliance with Compliance with AND §171.12, North American Shipments §171.22, Authorization to use ICAO, IMDG, TDG, IAEA §171.23, HM& Packaging Requirements §171.24, Use of ICAO §171.25, Use of IMDG §171.26, Use of IAEA TDG Regulation ICAO/IATA Regulations IMDG Code IAEA Regulations
