For example, a while back I wrote a blog discussing some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/exceptions-for-shipping-carbonated-beverages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">exemptions specifically for carbonated beverages in the various regulations<\/a>. But what about other types of beverages, such as beverages containing alcohol?\u00a0 Do any exceptions exist for these types of beverages? Below are some helpful exceptions when shipping alcoholic beverages domestically.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>United States<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Exceptions for beverages containing alcohol can be found in the 49CFR 173.150 (d)<strong>.\u00a0 <\/strong>Here it says that alcoholic beverages (wine and distilled spirits as defined in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-27\/section-4.10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">27 CFR 4.10<\/a> ) when transported by motor vehicle, vessel, or rail are relieved from the 49CFR regulations depending on a few factors.\u00a0 If the alcoholic beverage contains 24% of alcohol or less by volume, you would not be subject to the 49CFR regulations, meaning hazard class labelling, DG paperwork, and UN packaging would not be a requirement. \u00a0\u00a0If your beverage exceeds 24% of alcohol and is contained in an inner packaging of 5 liters or less, you would also be excepted from the shipping regulations per the 49CFR.\u00a0 That inner packaging can be increased to 250 liters or less if the alcoholic beverage is considered a packing group III.\u00a0 When in doubt, always check with the manufacturer to see which packing group the alcoholic beverage would fall under. \u00a0When transporting domestically by aircraft it is a bit different.\u00a0 Similarly to above, if the beverage is 24% or less alcohol by volume there is relief from the 49CFR regulations. However, If the beverage is over 24% alcohol but not more than 70% alcohol by volume when carried as cargo, the inner packaging cannot exceeding 5 Liters in order for it to be excepted from the 49CFR regulations.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Canada<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>TDG 1.36<\/strong>\u00a0states that Part 3 (Documentation), Part 4 (Dangerous Goods Safety Marks), Part 5 (Means of Containment), Part 6 (Training), Part 7 (Emergency Response Assistance Plan), Part 8 (Reporting Requirements), Part 9 (Road) and Part 10 (Rail) do not apply to the handling, offering for transport or transporting on a road vehicle, a railway vehicle or a vessel on a domestic voyage an alcoholic beverage if the alcoholic beverage contains alcohol that is less than or equal to 24% by volume, is included in Packing Group II and is in a means of containment with a capacity that is less than or equal to 5\u00a0L, or is included in Packing Group III and is in a means of containment with a capacity that is less than or equal to 250\u00a0L. \u00a0This is almost word for word the same exemption that is used under the 49CFR mentioned above, with the main difference being there is no mention of shipping aboard an aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>If for whatever reason you can\u2019t use any of these exceptions and hazard class labels, documentation, or UN packaging is required, feel free to contact us.
