Dear Ms. Buckinger:
This is in response to your letter requesting clarification on how to determine a proper shipping name in accordance with the hazardous materials regulations. You state that you have a different opinion than the manufacturer of your product concerning the marking of cartons and proper shipping name assignment. Specifically, you state that the manufacturer of your product prefers your company use the proper shipping name "Coating solution” whereas your company prefers using the name "Paint UN1263." You asked which name is most appropriate under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
Based on the information you provided, it is our determination that this material may be properly described by the generic proper shipping name "paint” or "coating solution." Both of these shipping descriptions include a wide range of products and we defer to the manufacturer's or subsequent shipper's judgement in the selection of the most appropriate proper shipping name.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
