As per section 14 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SDS<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, this product is classified as UN1263, Paint, Class 3, PG III. Based on the inner packaging quantity, this shipment was prepared as Limited Quantity. For ocean transport, class 3 material must show the flashpoint on the IMO declaration. Per section 9 of the SDS, the flashpoint for this product is shown as 10.5<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was a well-prepared SDS because in section 14, under the IMDG column, it referenced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/publications\/imdg-code\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IMDG section 2.3.2.2.<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0This particular section of the IMDG clearly states that viscous flammable liquids such as paints, enamels, lacquers, etc., having a flashpoint of less than 23<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C may be placed in packing group III as long as it meets the procedures set out in the Manual of Tests and Criteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prepared IMO declaration was submitted to the shipping line with the shipping description as UN1263, Paint, Class 3, PG III, Limited Quantity, Flashpoint 10.5<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C. A copy of the SDS was also submitted with the declaration. Well, guess what? They rejected it. Their reason for rejection was that their head office does not accept flashpoint 10.5<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C with packing group III, and they provided the flammability table (section 2.3.2.6 of the IMDG). I responded by stating the classification for this material is in compliance with section 2.3.2.2, and in fact, PG III can have a lower flashpoint for such products as paint which is what was being shipped. I asked them to refer to the SDS that was submitted with the booking as the information on the IMO declaration represented the SDS of the material being shipped. I also requested that this section of the IMDG Code be reviewed by their senior regulatory personnel as this shipment shouldn\u2019t be rejected for this reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They didn\u2019t want to hear my suggestion and said it\u2019s rejected. As expected, both myself and the freight forwarder handling this shipment were extremely disappointed with their service. These days there are already limitations on the availability of space on ships, and since the shipment has to be there within a certain timeframe, this shipment will now be shipped by air transport. So the client now has to absorb all the extra cost for absolutely no valid reason. And all because the shipping line\u2019s head office didn\u2019t want to review a section of the IMDG Code to accept a limited quantity shipment. I am still shaking my head on this one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/newsletter-signup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay up to date and sign up for our newsletter!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We have all the products, services and training you need to ensure your staff is properly trained and informed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-203460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/sds_binder.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder-140x140.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/06\/sds_binder-64x64.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\">Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Services<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/training-courses\/shipping-dangerous-goods-by-sea-imdg-code\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-858444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/VT-IMO10E-150x150.png\" alt=\"Shipping Dangerous Goods by Sea (IMDG) - Virtual Live 2 Day Training\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/training-courses\/shipping-dangerous-goods-by-sea-imdg-code\/\">Shipping Dangerous Goods by Sea<br \/>\n(IMDG Code) Training Courses<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/training-courses\/air\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-858213\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VT-AIR11E-150x150.png\" alt=\"Shipping Dangerous Goods by Air (IATA) - Virtual Live 1 Day Refresher Training\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/training-courses\/air\/\">Shipping Dangerous Goods by<br \/>\nAir Training Courses<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/publications\/imdg-code\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-855964\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/BK-IMO2V20-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/publications\/imdg-code\/\">IMDG Publications<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do you do when your shipment is being rejected because the classification of the product is correct for transport,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12565,"featured_media":857769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2494,2740,3267,4000,4007,5071,5078,5087,5088],"tags":[2362,2364,2429,2443,2455,2496,2525,2574,2643],"class_list":["post-857768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iata-and-icao","category-imdg-code-regulation-updates","category-regulatory-helpdesk","category-air-transport-popular-topic","category-ocean-sea-transport","category-sea-transportation","category-imdg","category-limited-quantities","category-documentation","tag-dangerous-goods","tag-hazmat","tag-regulations","tag-safety","tag-iata","tag-shipping","tag-sds","tag-hazardous-materials","tag-imdg"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Packing Group Controversy | ICC Compliance Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What do you do when your shipment has been rejected?
