Sometimes, it’s obvious when a material is considered hazardous. Explosive, radioactive, combustible, or poisonous goods always make the list. So do materials that may contain components that are considered dangerous. Many common household goods, such as nail polish, batteries, and touchup paint, are also considered hazardous. The hazardous materials rules apply to shipments of these goods, too, whether you’re exporting abroad or shipping a small online order. Confused? That’s why we’re here. We prepare hazardous materials shipments several times a week, and Total Export’s team recertifies in hazardous materials regulations every year so you can be confident we understand when the rules apply and how to properly package, label, and document your shipment when they do.
