Dear Mr. Lezak:
This responds to your August 24, 2010 email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you request clarification of the marking and labeling requirements for materials regulated as explosives that are transported from Canada into the United States.
As specified in § 171.12(a), a hazardous material transported from Canada to the United States, from the United States to Canada, or transiting the United States to Canada or a foreign destination may be offered for transportation or transported by motor carrier and rail in accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations as authorized in § 171.22, provided the requirements in §§ 171.22 and 171.23, as applicable, are met.
It should be noted that § 171.23(b)(4) requires that, prior to being transported within the United States, explosive materials must be approved by the Associate Administrator in accordance with § 173.56 and that each package containing a Class 1 (explosive) material must conform to the marking requirements in § 172.320.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Ben Supko
Acting Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
