One tube would contain Part A whereas the othe\nube would contain Part B. Discharge is 50% by volume of part A & B; Mixin\noccurs at discharge through the nozzle. Each filled syringe is inserted into a foil bag\nwhich is then sealed.\nThis particular packaging combination does not appear to meet the definition of a\nchemical kit nor does it meet the definition of Polyester Kit. Since this package\ncontains both of the aforementioned hazmats together; albeit separated in different\ntubes, how would one classify this package combination for shipment? Would this\ncombination meet the small quantity exception in 173.4 presuming that it was\npackaged in nested, strong outer packagings, etc or would the Limited Quantity\nException be a more progressive choice?\nThe Department's assistance is much appreciated on this particular query. An\nexpeditious reply would be most helpful.
