Dear Valued Partner,
Understanding the potential impact of the products and chemicals that we ship is something we all need to be aware of to fully appreciate the importance of the regulations that are in place.
Things that we see in our everyday lives – like the paint that brightens up your home, or the re-useable plastic water bottle or cup you drink out of – seem harmless. But if these products are spilled or displaced while in transport, not only will serious delays and fines be incurred, but a detrimental impact on the environment, wildlife, and even human life can be the outcome.
Read our Help Center articles to understand the careful considerations that must be made while shipping paint, learn what a nurdle is and why there is a petition to classify them as dangerous goods, and to learn the PHMSA’s “Notice of Enforcement Poly Regarding International Standards” as a response to the dis-harmonization of various regulation updates.
