Referencing the 49 CFR,\n(each not excooding 1 liter capacity) can be shipped fully regulated as 'Acrosol Cans, flammable (or non-\nflammable), 2.1, UN1950' at any quantity. Upon inquiry to the Department of Transportation, they had\nconfusion is that there is no prohibited limit indicated as to how much you can ship other than under the\nstated that aerosol cans, if above the 66 pound limit are prohibited to be shipped as previously stated. The\n'Exceptions' column, where it references 173.306. Here the regulation states that compressed gases cannot\nbe shipped in 'limited quantities' if the package exceeds 66 pounds. Doesn't this mean acrosols can be\nQTY)? If this is not the case, could you please provide this office a written interpretation of this part of the\nshipped fully regulated and can exceed the 66 pound limit if shipped fully regulated and not as an LTD\nregulation for clarification and for our records.\nThanks in advance for your assistance with this matter.\nSincerely,\n'assie Mayrand-Burne:\nneeds lette stating \"Aeross\" is a etd gty\najit i restricied to 661b S4sS\n** TOTAL PAGE.Ø2.**_\n-","truncated":false,"body_characters":3055}
