Dear Mr. Al-Qabbani:
This is in response to your letter dated April 4, 1999, regarding the applicability of the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods-by Air (ICAO). Specifically, you asked whether any United States (U.S.) Variations or U.S. Government restrictions apply to the loading of Perfumery products, 3, UN1266, PG II or PG III onto a passenger aircraft.
A Perfumery product being imported :into the U.S. that is not a limited quantity or a consumer commodity, and is properly packaged for transportation in accordance with ICAO must conform, to the requirements in 49 CFR 171.11 (copy enclosed) and certain U.S. variations. The variations that may apply to your products are the following: U.S. Variation 1 requiring the use of English for all required package markings and for the dangerous goods transport document, U.S. Variation 12 requiring the shipper to provide a 24-hour emergency response telephone number and, if applicable, U.S. Variation 4 requiring the identification of hazardous substances. The applicable variation must be listed on the Shipper's Declaration of Dangerous Goods.
I hope this information is helpful. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
