If the name of the material you are shipping is not listed in the HMT, you must select a generic or n.o.s. (not otherwise specified) description, found in Column 2, that most accurately describes your material. For example:
- The most suitable proper shipping name for a material not listed in Column 2 by name but that meets the Class 3 (flammable liquid) hazard definition may be “Flammable liquid n.o.s.”
- If a material is an alcohol that is not listed by name, “Alcohol, n.o.s.” may be the most satisfactory proper shipping name.
- “Compound cleaning, liquid” more accurately describes a corrosive material used for cleaning stone surfaces than “Corrosive liquid, n.o.s.”
