What is Hazardous?

Shipping hazardous materials may be a cause of confusion for many, especially since some products that are safe for everyday use are also considered hazardous when shipped, both domestically and internationally. Items such as hairspray, batteries, and artist’s paint are all considered hazardous materials, and must be labeled properly when shipped. You will find that the staff will help you determine whether or not your shipment is considered hazardous.
