Ship Dangerous or Hazardous Goods Outside the U.S.

You may be in violation of Federal Law and create a public safety hazard if you ship biological materials, dry ice, lithium batteries, hazardous materials, or any other “Dangerous Goods” unless you have received specific training and the material is properly packaged and labeled. 

Complete training for shipping chemical or biological materials, or arrange for a certified hazardous materials shipper to complete these tasks. Training needs to be recertified every two years. Note: Radiological materials shall only be shipped through EH&S.

• "Dangerous Goods" include, but are not limited to, materials that are flammable, combustible, corrosive, reactive, oxidizing, toxic, radioactive, infectious, asphyxiating, elevated in temperature, or compressed, including aerosol cans. Dry ice and lithium batteries are also regulated. If you are unsure whether your material is a “Dangerous Good” consult an “SDS” or check with EH&S (650) 723-0448.
