Basically, a limited quantity going by air does not require UN specification packaging, but is subject to all other requirements, such as a Shipper\u2019s Declaration for Dangerous Goods document, and marking and labeling as an air dangerous goods shipment. It must also be marked with the limited quantity mark in addition to all other required marks and labels. It can save you some money and is useful where UN specification packaging may be hard to obtain.<\/span><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Extra-Color-1&#8243; title=&#8221;Why do some limited quantity marks have a \u201cY\u201d in the center and some don\u2019t?&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span class=\"NormalTextRun BCX0 SCXW114126996\">Originally, since limited quantities for air shipment had very different requirements, it was decided to give them a different limited quantity symbol, by putting the letter \u201cY\u201d in the center of the mark when used for air shipment. However, since then, the rules have been relaxed. Most surface regulations, such as 49 CFR (section 172.315(a)) and TDG (section 1.17(5)), allow you to use the \u201cY\u201d mark on ground shipments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-874903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lbcn81_hi_2-150x150.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-874904\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/lbcn80_hi_2-150x150.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Extra-Color-1&#8243; title=&#8221;What I\u2019m shipping is really, REALLY small.
