Summary of requirements
Exception. Reciprocity does not always apply. Differences do exist and additional training may be needed. If a dangerous good is regulated in Canada, but not in the United States, it must be shipped according to the TDG Clear Language Regulations. Likewise, if a hazardous material is regulated in the United States, but not in Canada, it must be shipped according to 49 CFR.
