CDL · Hazardous materials

Next to a proper shipping name, the Hazardous Materials Table shows a 'D' in its first column. What does that symbol mean?

Correct answer: The name applies to domestic but not international shipments.

Answer options

  1. AThe material is regulated only when shipped by water
  2. BThe name applies to domestic but not international shipments Correct
  3. CThe name is generic and must be followed by a technical name

Why

Column 1 symbols explain how an entry applies to different kinds of transportation. A 'D' signals that the proper shipping name is appropriate for domestic transportation but may not be correct for international shipments; generic names are marked 'G', and water-only coverage is marked 'W'.
