Acceptance Requirements for Hazardous Materials

Acceptance Requirements for Hazardous Materials

Hazardous Materials Regulations
ABX Air accepts only air shipments using either the domestic (49CFR) or international regulations (IATA/ICAO); ORM-D Hazardous Materials are acceptable only with prior approval. Inspectors will need to determine which regulations the shipper used in order to conduct the inspection. Shipments prepared using 49CFR must be inspected using 49CFR. Shipments prepared using IATA or ICAO must be inspected using IATA and 49CFR (there are certain items that pertain to shipments in the United States that are not covered in IATA). Shipments bound for Hawaii or international destinations must be prepared according to the IATA regulations. The documentation for these shipments must be on the Shipper’s Declaration For Dangerous Goods.

For assistance with any packaging or guidance with the 49CFR regulations for domestic transport or the IATA/ICAO regulations for international and domestic transport, please call the ABX Air Hazardous Materials Hotline at (866) 588-2002 to speak with a highly trained Hazardous Materials Specialist 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Note: The Hazardous Materials Hotline cannot assist with pick up or billing information.
