Question 1

What is a transport label?

Accepted Answer

A transport label is the hazard class label or mark placed on a package to identify dangerous goods during shipping. It communicates the UN number, proper shipping name, and hazard(s) so carriers and inspectors can handle the package safely and accept it for transport.

Question 2

Why are transport labels important?

Accepted Answer

They’re legally required and critical for safety. Correct labels prevent delays or rejections, guide safe handling and segregation, and help emergency responders act quickly if there’s an incident.

Question 3

What are the requirements for transport labeling?

Accepted Answer

Under 49 CFR (HMR), packages must display the correct hazard class/division label(s), UN number, proper shipping name, and any required marks—such as Limited Quantity, Excepted Quantity, lithium battery mark, or marine pollutant—at the specified minimum sizes and visibility.

Question 4

Are all chemical packages required to be labeled when transporting?

Accepted Answer

Most hazardous materials packages must be labeled. Some exceptions still require specific marks. Always verify the exception and marking rules for your material and mode of transport.

Question 5

Can I download and print transport labels?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tool generates printer-ready PDFs for common sizes (e.g., 100×100 mm class labels) so you can print on thermal printers or label sheets.

Question 6

Are the requirements for shipping labels different for air, highway, and rail?

Accepted Answer

Core hazard communication is consistent, but details can vary by mode. The US tool is DOT-focused and supports shipments moving across air, highway, and rail operations. For air or sea shipments, ensure your package also meets IATA or IMDG acceptance criteria.

Question 7

What if I already have the SDS?

Accepted Answer

You can upload it directly. The system reads Section 14 to prefill UN number, Proper Shipping Name, hazard class/division, subsidiary risks, packing group, and special marks, allowing you to generate accurate labels in a few clicks.

Question 8

Does the tool support mixtures and solutions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your SDS covers a mixture or solution, the generator maps its transport classification to the correct label or mark. You can also display ingredient information if needed for workplace use.

Question 9

Can I see an example of a transport label?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can generate a sample using a test UN (for example, a Class 3 flammable liquid) to preview the hazard class label, UN number, and required information before printing.

Question 10

Does this replace shipping papers?

Accepted Answer

No. Labels and marks are for the package only. You must still complete and include the required shipping documentation for your shipment and mode of transport.
