CCB Hazardous Material Shipping

This document provides guidance regarding the shipment of hazardous materials and/or dangerous goods from CCB. These shipments must conform to the many regulations stipulated by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) (ground transport) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) (air transport).

These regulations must be followed by a researcher wishing to:

1. ship a research sample for testing.
2. send hazardous materials to a collaborator in industry or at another university.
3. return a hazardous material to the manufacturer.
4. ship a sample packaged in dry ice.

The regulations are complex, thus the CCB Safety Office (Allen Aloise, 6-8285, aloise@fas.harvard.edu) should be contacted for assistance with the shipment of hazardous materials from CCB.
