Q1. May four UN 4G combination packages, each holding 8 pounds of smokeless powder for small arms, be transported in one UN 4G overpack box?
A1. The answer is yes, provided the 100 pound net mass limitation in § 173,171 (b) is not exceeded.
Q2. May six UN 4G combination packages, each holding 8 pounds of smokeless powder for small arms, be transported in one UN 4G overpack box?
A2. The answer is yes, provided the 100 pound net mass limitation in. § 173.171 (b) is not exceeded.
Additionally, the requirements of § 173.171 (d) do not apply to those packagings authorized under § 173.171 (a), (b) or (c).
I hope this information is helpful.
