Specifically, you ask whether additional information may be\nplaced between the basic description required by § 172.202(a)(1), (2), (3), and (4) and the total\nquantity required by § 172:202(a)(5).\nThe answer is yes. Section 172.201(a)(4) states that the shipping paper may contain additional\ninformation concerning the material provided the information is not inconsistent with the shipping\ndescription. Additional information concerning the material must be placed after the basic description\n(§ 172.201(a)(4))). When the total quantity appears after the basic description, additional information\nmay be placed before or after the total quantity.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nGehun Millio\nDelmer F.
