How to Complete a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods
(Not required for excepted quantities shipped by air?)

A shipper’s declaration for dangerous goods provides a description of the dangerous goods (hazardous materials) and quantity shipped and provides key information to communicate hazards present for safe transport and for mitigating spills or leaks.

• The shipper’s declaration must include the proper shipping description in the correct order:

UN ID #, Shipping Name, Hazard Class, Packing Group (PG)
Examples:
UN1090, Acetone, 3, PGIII
UN2110, Toxic Liquids, Organic, n.o.s., (Ethidium Bromide), 6.1, PGII

• The Shipper’s Declaration must also include:
- The total quantity of the materials
- Technical description for generic shipping names
- An emergency phone number (that is answered 24/7 by a knowledgeable person)

• The Shipper’s Declaration will include a section on transport details, “Passenger and Cargo Aircraft” or “Cargo Aircraft only”. The shipper must delete the mode of transport not being used.

• The Shipper’s Declaration must indicate on the declaration whether or not the package contains radioactive material. The shipper must delete either “non-radioactive” of “radioactive” as applicable.

• The Shipper’s Declaration must be signed and dated by the shipper.

Each carrier may have a carrier specific format and requirements for completion the shipper’s declaration.
