Shippers of hazardous materials - including hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, and marine pollutants - must prepare and certify shipping papers before offering these materials for commercial transportation to, from, or within the U.S. Shipping papers identify and classify the hazardous materials being shipped, and notify shippers and carriers of their hazards. They help define the protective measures necessary to protect employees, the public, and the environment, and can provide critical information to emergency response personnel.
