Dear Mr. Stone:
This is in response to your November 28, 2005 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Your company produces a liquid cleaning solution used by photographers. "The cleaning solution consists of 100% purified methanol, and is packaged in 2 oz. (59 mL) plastic receptacles. Specifically, you ask if passengers may transport your company"s product in checked or carry-on baggage aboard aircraft.
A passenger may not transport a hazardous material in checked or carry-on baggage unless the material meets one of the exceptions in § 175.10. Methanol is listed in the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT; § 172.101) as a Class 3 (Flammable liquid) material, and does not meet any of the exceptions specified in § 175.10. Therefore, your product is not permitted to be carried aboard an aircraft in a passenger"s checked or carry-on baggage under the HMR.
Sincerely,
John A Gale
Chief, Standards Development
