When shippers package hazardous materials, they must certify that this was done according to regulations. The only exception is when ___________________________.

When the shipper packages HazMat, they certify that the package has been prepared according to HMR. The signed shipper’s certification appears on the original shipping paper. The only exceptions are when a shipper is a private carrier transporting their own product and when the package is provided by the carrier (for example, a cargo tank). Unless a package is clearly unsafe or does not comply with HMR, you may accept the shipper’s certification concerning proper packaging. Some carriers have additional rules about transporting HazMat. Follow your employer’s rules when accepting shipments. [Commercial Driver’s License Manual]
