Dear Mr. Miska:
This responds to your letter regarding consumer commodity reclassification and emergency response telephone number requirements under the U.S. Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) and the ICAD Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods By Air. Your questions are paraphrased and answered as follows:
Q1. Our company intends to export Perfumery products, Class 3, UN1266, Packing Group II, to the U.S. Under the HMR, may this product be reclassed ORM-D and renamed Consumer commodity?
A1. The answer is yes. Provided the perfumery products meet the definition of a consumer commodity in § 171.8, you may package them under the limited quantity provisions prescribed in § 173.150(b) and are eligible to rename them under the exceptions for consumer commodities in § 173.150{c).
Q2. May we reclassify and rename our product "Consumer commodity" under the read Technical Instructions?
A2. The answer is yes. Provided the consumer commodity conforms to Special Provision A112 and is packaged according to Packing Instruction 910 of the ICAO Technical Instructions, the proper description would be "Consumer commodity, Class 9".
Q3. Do Consumer commodities, ORM-D or Class 9, require a emergency response telephone number to be included on a shipping paper?
A3. The answer is no. Under § 172.604{b) (2) of the HMR and State Variation US12 of the 2001-2002 ICAO Technical Instructions, a material properly described as a Consumer commodity is excepted from the emergency response telephone number requirements.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
