Dear Ms. Johnson:
This is in response to your August 21, 2001 letter requesting clarification of the definition for “Materials of Trade” under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180). Specifically you ask if hazardous materials transported between your company’s facility and a laboratory for testing purposes, may be considered materials of trade.
One criterion for a material of trade is that a hazardous material is transported by a private carrier in direct support of its principal business which may not be transportation by motor vehicle. Provided all conditions of § 173.6 are met, the materials of trade exception may be applied in your scenario.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
