Spoiler alert, yes state and operator variations are definitely worth the read in IATA. Not only are they worth reading, but they are also required.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the more popular operator variations I come across with customers looking for UN Packaging is FX-02. FX-02 is an operator variation for those shipping class 6.1 dangerous goods in Packing Group I or II using Fed EX by air within the United States.\u00a0 It requires the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/us-special-permit-kits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Special Permit Packaging<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is FX-02?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are using Fed Ex as your carrier and are shipping by air, make sure you check the operator variations located in Section 2.8 of IATA. There you will find the FX operator variations. Under FX-02, it says except for UN 1230, Methanol and Excepted Quantities (EQ), substances with a primary or subsidiary hazard of Division 6.1 in Packing Group I or II, with an origin and destination within the USA, including Puerto Rico, will only be accepted if in approved DOT Special Permit (SP) packaging; or will only be accepted for international transport in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/4gv-boxes-variation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UN Specification Packaging<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that meets Packing Group I performance standards. Note: Subsidiary hazards of Division 6.1 without a Packing Group are not subject to FX-02a.\u00a0 What does this mean? This means if your dangerous goods are either a PG I or II, have either a 6.1 Primary or Subsidiary hazard, and you are shipping within the United States, you have to use a packaging that has a Special Permit attached to it.\u00a0 So, in a case like this, just using a regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/4g-boxes-combination\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UN 4G<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/4gv-boxes-variation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">4GV packaging<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> would not be compliant under the above conditions.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is Special Permit Packaging?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Special Permit is essentially PHMSA allowing a dangerous goods shipper to be relieved from certain parts of the regulations. A Special Permit packaging comes with a letter that tells you what regulations specifically the user is exempt from when using it to ship dangerous goods.\u00a0 For example, here at ICC, we offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/packaging\/us-special-permit-kits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Special Permit Kits<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When purchasing these kits, you would be sent <a href=\"https:\/\/icc.pub\/downloads\/packaging\/dot-exemption-letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the actual letter of exemption<\/a>\u00a0that would explain that users are exempt from having to place hazard labels on the outside of the box among other regulations, as long as the hazard class and packing group of dangerous goods being shipped is listed in the letter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These Special Permit Kits fulfill IATA\u2019s FX-02 variation requirement when shipping dangerous goods inside of the United States, including Puerto Rico. Of course, this packaging is a tested 4GV packaging, so you can use it even if you aren\u2019t shipping by air or using Fed EX and still reap the benefits of not having to use hazard class labels under the conditions of the Special Permit. Although the Special Permit is only good within the United States, if you are in Canada, you can use these kits as standard 4GV packaging by just placing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/labels\/hazard-class-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hazard Class Labels<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> over the Special Permit number printed on the box.
