Just to recap, shipping in Limited Quantities offers us a chance to follow certain parts of the regulations and essentially be exempt from others. But what if you are shipping cartridges for weapons or small arms, would the limited quantity exemption apply? And where would you find this in the regulations?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can I use The Limited Quantity Exemption?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you are shipping small arms or cartridges for weapons, the short answer is, it depends. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/publications\/us-49-cfr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the 49CFR<\/a> if you look in column 8A for exceptions, if your UN number lists 173.63 as a reference, you may be in luck. For example, for UN 0012, Cartridges for weapons, inert projectile or Cartridges, small arms, it lists the number \u201c63\u201d in column 8A, meaning there is an exception located at 173.63.\u00a0 In this case under 173.63 (b) it mentions the Limited quantities exemption for Cartridges, small arms, Cartridges, power device, Cartridges for tools, blank, and Cases, cartridge, empty with primer<strong>. <\/strong>Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/publications\/canadian-tdg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in TDG<\/a> your UN number may list Special provision 125 in column 5 which refers you to 1.17 (2) to (4), which is where the limited quantity exemption is referenced.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What does this mean? <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In the cases mentioned above, in the 49CFR at 173.63 (b) (II), it lists the types of cartridges and small arms that can utilize the limited quantity exemption such as different types of ammunition and cartridges. Packages containing these articles can be shipped in limited quantities if the maximum gross weight is limited to 30KG and packaged inside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/packaging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">strong outer packaging<\/a> (non-UN is acceptable). In addition, ammunition must be packed in either inner boxes or in partitions securely packaged in the strong outer packaging and primers must be protected from accidental activation. The outer box must be marked with the limited quantity marking as well. In this case shipper&#8217;s declarations and hazard class labels would not be required. If you are shipping domestically by road, rail, or vessel within Canada, Special Provision 125 defers you to 1.17 (2) through (4), which is where the limited quantity exemption is located. However, it mentions in the special provision that each inner container must not exceed 5 kg in addition to the outer containers gross mass being less than or equal to 30KG. Although the outer packaging does not have to be UN rated, it must be capable of passing a Test Series 6 (d) of part I of the Manual of Tests and Criteria. As mentioned in 1.17, the limited quantity marking would be required as well, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/forms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shipper&#8217;s declarations<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/labels\/hazard-class-labels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hazard class labels<\/a> are not required. Keep in mind these are references to the 49CFR and TDG, so if you are shipping by air you will notice that under columns G and H in the List of Dangerous Goods in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/publications\/iata\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">IATA<\/a>, which lists the limited quantity information, it will likely say \u201cforbidden\u201d for these types of articles, meaning you cannot ship them as limited quantities. \u00a0Always check section 14 of your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/services\/sds-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SDS<\/a> to see how your small arms are classified. If you are allowed to ship your small arms as limited quantities and need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/labels\/shipping-and-handling\/quantity-related\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">limited quantity labels<\/a>, feel free to contact us at 888.442.9628 (USA) or 888.977.4834 (Canada) or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/general-information-request\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">send us an email<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/newsletter-signup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stay up to date and sign up for our newsletter!<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\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>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-729776 size-thumbnail aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-140x140.png 140w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-500x500.png 500w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-350x350.png 350w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/07\/ICC_Shipping_QuantityRelated.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/labels\/shipping-and-handling\/quantity-related\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quantity Related<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/product-category\/labels\/shipping-and-handling\/quantity-related\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Labels<\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-734566 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/02\/VT-AIR100V-150x150.png\" alt=\"Shipping Dangerous Goods by Air (IATA) -
