No. 00-0144 250 Industrial Circle Stoughton, WI 53589 Dear Ms. Rauk: This is in response to your letter dated May 5, 2000 requesting verification on the proper shipping of Adhesives, 3, UN 1133, PG II. You ask if it is possible to ship 8 oz. cans in a case of 24, weighing 13 Ibs. per case, without labeling the cans. You further state that the case would be palletized and shrink-wrapped. The labeling requirements found in 49 CFR 172.400 require each non-bulk package (i.e., case) to be labeled with the label specified in the § 172.101 Table for the material. In your situation, the hazard warning labels are only required on the outside package and are not required to be placed packages are not visible, the label and other markings must be placed on the shrink-wrapped film- on inner packages (i.e., cans). If several cases are shrink-wrapped, and the labels on the overpack. See § 173.25. I hope his information is helpful. Sincerely, Hotte z, Mitchell Hattie L.
