The short answer was no. After thinking about it, I thought that would make a good blog topic. So here goes.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Generally, when a shipment is made from the US to Canada or vice-versa, reciprocity will apply. Reciprocity generally covers classification, marking and labeling, placarding, shipping papers, packaging, and training requirements.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For shipments from the USA to Canada, refer to 49 CFR 171.12, 171.22, and 171.23. For shipments from Canada to the USA, refer to the TDG regulations Parts 2,5,7,9,10,11, and 12.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Outlined below are SOME of the differences between the two regulations:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cNA\u201d numbers: \u201cNA\u201d stands for North America, but they are only used in the USA. \u201cNA\u201d numbers cannot be used outside of the USA, therefore cannot be used to send a shipment to Canada.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Any valid shipping description may be used to ship to Canada, unless there is a \u201cD\u201d symbol, meaning domestic only in the USA. In this case, there is always another entry that says \u201cI,\u201d meaning International, that should be used.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Some shipping descriptions, like Explosives in the USA, do not use packing groups. Schedule 1 of the TDG regulations designates Explosives, as well as a few other hazard classes with packing group II.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Explosives shipped in\/to the USA require an EX-number which is assigned by the Associate Administrator of the DOT. In Canada, the explosive must be approved under the Explosives Act.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Toxic gases in the USA have a different label\/placard to designate inhalation hazard. Refer to 49 CFR 171.23(b)(10) for provisions for shipping from Canada to the USA.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The USA regulates class 3, flammable liquids to 93.3\u00b0C. Combustible materials, as they are called, have a flashpoint from 60-93.3\u00b0C and are regulated only in bulk.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The USA has Hazardous Substances (RQ). They are found in 172.101, Appendix A. Canada has something called ERAP \u2013 Emergency Response Action Plan.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The TDG regulates Marine Pollutants by a list of known marine pollutants AND using the UN criteria. The 49 CFR uses a list-based system. The UN criteria is optional. This often results in a difference of transport classification between the 40CFR and other modes (TDG, IATA, and IMDG).<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Elevated temperature materials have different symbols in the USA and Canada.
