the hazardous substance by name, the name
of the hazardous substance must be entered
in parentheses in association with the basic
description. If the material contains two
or more hazardous substances, at least two
hazardous substances, including the two with
the lowest reportable quantities (RQs), must
be identified. For a hazardous waste, the
waste code (e.g., D001), if appropriate, may
be used to identify the hazardous substance.[49

| Did
the shipper enter the letters "RQ" on the
shipping paper?.[49 CFR Part 172.203(c)(2)] |

on a shipping paper by one of the proper shipping
names identified by the letter "G" in Column
(1) of the 172.101 Table, the technical name
of the hazardous material must be entered
in parentheses in association with the basic
description. For example "Corrosive liquid,
n.o.s., (Caprylyl chloride), 8, UN 1760, II",
or "Corrosive liquid, n.o.s., 8, UN 1760,
II (contains Caprylyl chloride)". The word
"contains" may be used in association with
the technical name, if appropriate. For organic
peroxides which may qualify for more than
one generic listing depending on concentration,
the technical name must include the actual
concentration being shipped or the concentration
range for the appropriate generic listing.
For example, "Organic peroxide type B, solid,
5.2, UN 3102 (dibenzoyl peroxide, 52-100%)'
or "Organic peroxide type E, solid, 5.2, UN
3108 (dibenzoyl peroxide, paste, <52%).[49

is a marine pollutant does not identify by
name the component which makes the material
a marine pollutant, the name of that component
must appear in parentheses in association
with the basic description. Where two or more
components which make a material a marine
pollutant are present, the names of at least
two of the components most predominantly contributing

is assigned (1) If a liquid or solid material
in a package meets the definition of a Division
6.1, Packing Group I or II, according to this
subchapter, and the fact that it is a poison
is not disclosed in the shipping name or class
entry, the word "Poison' or "Toxic' shall
be entered on the shipping paper in association
with the shipping description. (2)
