Did you know that there are over 1200 of them?<\/p>\n<p>Wow, that is a lot to keep track of if you ship globally!<\/p>\n<p>Every year, when the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are published, variations are changed. Often, these changes catch shippers off guard.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I would highlight some of the noteworthy new editions and changes in the 66<sup>th<\/sup> edition.<\/p>\n<h4>First, let\u2019s review some basics:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>State and operator variations are found in Section 2 of the regulations.<\/li>\n<li>A square symbol beside an entry means it is new to this edition.<\/li>\n<li>A triangle symbol beside the entry means it has changed since the previous edition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s start with State (aka country) variations.<\/p>\n<p>Belarus -BYG has been added.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>BYG-04 is interesting because it wants Markings for dangerous goods to be in the Russian language. For international transport, markings in English shall be provided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Canada has reordered their variations. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/canadian-state-variations-updated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous blog here<\/a>\u00a0for details.<\/p>\n<p>Chile -CLG has been added<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CLG-01 for domestic routes; documentation must be in Spanish. English may also be used for international shipment.<\/li>\n<li>CLG-02 All International Dangerous Goods Shipments destined for Chile must include a Spanish Safety Data Sheet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>KYRGYZSTAN- KGG has been added.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>KGG-02 Does not allow Explosives to be transported to, from, within, or over the country without permission.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Operators or carriers are always adding and changing variations. I could spend all day listing the changes. For expediency, let\u2019s look at a common carrier that our customers use.<\/p>\n<p>Federal Express-FX<\/p>\n<p>Are you aware of FX-08? It is relatively new.<\/p>\n<p>It says you must provide three copies of the shipper\u2019s declaration form. At least two of those copies must have the hatched border in red. In addition, when a shipment consists of more than one outer package or overpack, one additional black and white copy of the shipper\u2019s declaration must be affixed to each additional outer package.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to check the operator and state variations that apply to your company each year to avoid delays.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help understanding the state and operator variations or any other part of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, our team of experts is just a call away for our customers at 855.734.5469 or <a
