Dear Mr. Casas:
This is in response to your email dated December 24, 2013, requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) relating to the shipment of batteries, wet, non-spillable, UN 2800 from Mexico to the United States. You request confirmation that pursuant to HMR § 173.159a(d), a shipment of non-spillable batteries as well as non-spillable batteries with lighting equipment is excepted from the labeling requirements of subpart E of part 172 of the HMR.
You are correct. Provided the shipment of non-spillable batteries is in full compliance with all applicable requirements of HMR § 173.159a, relief from all other requirements of the HMR is available under § 173.159a(d). Therefore, such shipments of non-spillable batteries are not subject to the labeling requirements of the HMR.
I trust this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Duane A. Pfund
