Solution
(1) In the event a company, entity or person on one of the following lists appears to match a
potential party in an export transaction, additional due diligence is required before proceeding.
Depending on which list the match was found, a match indicates either: there is a strict export
prohibition; a specific license requirement; or the presence of a \"red flag\".
Prior to taking any further actions, users are to consult the requirements of the specific list on
which the company, entity or person is identified by reviewing the webpage of the agency
responsible for the list.
Denied Persons List
A list of individuals and entities that have been denied export privileges. Any dealings with a
party on this list that would violate the terms of its denial order are prohibited.
Entity List
The Entity List identifies foreign parties that are prohibited from receiving some or all items
subject to the EAR unless the exporter secures a license. Those persons present a greater risk of
diversion to weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs, terrorism, or other activities
contrary to U.S. national security or foreign policy interests. By publicly listing such persons, the
Entity List is an important tool to prevent unauthorized trade in items subject to the EAR.
BIS can add to the Entity List a foreign party, such as an individual, business, research
institution, or government organization, for engaging in activities contrary to U.S. national
security and/or foreign policy interests. In most instances, license exceptions are unavailable for
the export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to a party on the Entity List of items subject to the
EAR. Rather, a prior license is required, usually subject to a policy of denial. For guidance
concerning the prohibitions and license application review policy applicable to a particular party,
please review that party\'s entry on the list. Procedures for removal from the Entity List appear in
section 744.16 of the EAR.
Unverified List
A list of parties whose bona fides BIS has been unable to verify. No license exceptions may be
used for exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) to UVL parties. A statement must be
obtained from such parties prior to shipping items not subject to a license requirement. See
Section 744.15 of the EAR.

Welcome to the seventh issue
of the Dangerous Goods Report
Dangerous Goods compliance is about nailing the
details—even when those details seem trivial. The better
you handle the details, the more confident you can be
in your operation’s safety and efficiency.
In this issue of the Dangerous Goods Report, you’ll examine the new HM-215
regulations down to the millimeter. You can also take our DG Confidence
Assessment to see how your company stands up to the competition in
compliance processes and automation. You’ll get a sneak preview of all the
new 2017 IATA amendments for Dangerous Goods air transport, and revisit
some of the sharpest insights and strongest opinions from September’s
Dangerous Goods Symposium.
As always, we at Labelmaster are here to help you make sense of the ever-
changing Dangerous Goods landscape. We hope you find the information
and solutions in the Dangerous Goods Report to be useful, and we
welcome any questions.

DANGEROUS GOODS REPORT4
Are you
ready for the
border patrol?
Changes to label and placard
borders are coming
When the final rule HM-215M was published on January 8, 2015 in
the Federal Register, shippers of Dangerous Goods/hazmat had a lot
of reading to do—95 pages of nine-point type that described a wide
range of changes throughout 49 CFR Part 171 through Part 180.
5. The rule is intended to harmonize U.S. requirements
with the UN Model Regulations, ICAO and IMDG code
changes. The first deadline for compliance is coming up
on January 1, 2017. However, there is a Notice of Public
Rulemaking (NPRM) for HM-215N that’s in the works—
which may move the deadline out another two years to
January 1, 2019.
And here’s where it gets complicated. As far as the rest of
the world is concerned, the deadline will still be January 1,
2017. So for domestic flights in the U.S. via an IATA
carrier (because they follow ICAO rules), the regulations
will be in effect. Ask your carriers if they will still accept
packages that do not comply with HM-215M after
January 1, 2017.
In any case, these new regulations have the potential
to cause serious headaches for DG shippers who
aren’t prepared.
Measuring up
Among the clarifications regarding exemptions for marine
pollutants and extensive revisions to the Hazardous
Materials Table data—especially absorbed gasses, safety
devices (e.g., airbag inflators) and asbestos—there were
two provisions in HM-215M that affect literally every
regulated DG shipment in the U.S. across every mode
of transportation.
They specified border measurements for labels
and placards. Here’s the relevant text:
§172.407 Label specifications.
(c) Size. (1) Each diamond (square-on-
point) label prescribed in this subpart
must be at least 100 mm (3.9 inches)
on each side with each side having
a solid line inner border 5 mm inside
and parallel to the edge. The 5 mm
measurement is from the outside edge
of the label to the outside of the solid
line forming the inner border. The width
of the solid line forming the inner border
must be at least 2 mm.
§172.519 General specifications for
placards.
(c) Size. (1) Each diamond (square-on-
point) placard prescribed in this subpart
must measure at least 250 mm (9.84
inches) on each side and must have a
solid line inner border 12.5 mm inside
and parallel to the edge. The 12.5 mm
measurement is from the outside edge
of the placard to the outside of the solid
line forming the inner border.
It might seem like a small change. What’s a millimeter
here or there? Is having a border 5 mm from the edge of a
label going to save lives, whereas a border 4 mm in would
lead to certain disaster, death and mayhem? Probably not,
but that millimeter difference could mean the difference
between your shipment being accepted or rejected.
Labels and placards are the first things inspectors see
when reviewing a shipment. This rule provides them
with one more potential reason to hold up your shipment.
And delayed shipments mean lost revenue, missed
opportunities and unhappy customers.
What does a delay really cost?
Have you ever wondered just what a
delayed shipment can cost your business?
Check out our Frustrated Shipment Cost
Calculator (labelmaster.com/frustrated-
shipments) and see how a little detail—like
a label that is out of compliance—can have
a big impact on your profitability.
And then there are the fines. The DOT recently
upped the maximum penalties for knowingly violating
the requirements of the federal hazardous material
transportation law to $77,114 for each violation ($178,933
if the violation results in death, serious illness or severe
injury to any person or substantial destruction of property).
What’s the bottom line?
If you’re using Labelmaster placards and labels, you’re all
set. You’re already compliant and don’t have to lift a finger.
If you’re not, it might be a good time to start before these
provisions of HM-215M become effective on New Year’s
Day 2017 (or 2019 if the proposed extension goes through,
but still required in 2017 on domestic flights via an IATA
carrier). You may be risking delayed shipments, fines
and more.

the HM-215M-compliant products you need for
your next shipment!

6. 6 DANGEROUS GOODS REPORT
More than 200 Dangerous Goods practitioners
gathered in downtown Chicago September 7–9
for the biggest, most intense DG Symposium yet.
For newbies and long-time veterans alike,
#DGS16 was an eye-opening experience.
Here are some highlights:
Day 1
By 1:00 on the event’s first afternoon, DGS had the
atmosphere of a campfire.
Well, okay, there was no actual campfire. (What would
OSHA say?) But several hazmat trainers shared the kind
of scary stories they’d tell around a campfire, with the
“moral” for each story going up on a big DO THIS or
DON’T DO THAT board.
Later, Labelmaster’s VP of Regulatory Affairs Bob
Richard—a former PHMSA regulator—discussed
“What to Do When the Hazmat Enforcement Inspector
Comes Knocking.”
Day 2
Dangerous Goods attorney Jerry Cox opened the day
with a message about the importance of DG compliance,
and closed the day with a spirited rebuke of the U.S.
Department of Transportation for imposing steep penalties
on people who commit violations without the knowledge
that they’ve done anything wrong.
In between, a distinguished panel of air transport experts
discussed upcoming regulations and the paradigm shift
behind competency-based training.
Day 3
Friday morning’s lithium battery panel included views
from regulators, shippers, battery makers and businesses
like Labelmaster who aim to keep battery shipments
moving compliantly.
We heard sharp insights, strong opinions, good-natured
disagreement and an overwhelming consensus toward
balancing public safety and business sanity within an
imperfect system. It was a grand finish to the best DG
Symposium yet.
Chicago is a sweet home indeed
for the biggest DGS yet!

Bob Richard speaks on Day 3

“I think it’s the ultimate conference. What Labelmaster brings to
the table is absolutely unlike any other event I go to.”
Sonia Irusta, Hazardous Material Compliance, Inc.
“I’ve received a lot of information specific to training that I wouldn’t
get from any other source. Labelmaster’s done a really good job
to help trainers be better trainers.”
Jay Johnson, Inmark
“I like the open forum where people can ask questions. You realize
there are other people out there who have similar issues.”
Irena Mayne, Monarch Regulatory Services, Inc.
“Not only do you learn, but you get to meet other people from all
walks of life and different jobs.”
Gary Tung, United Airlines
“You have manufacturers, shippers, redistributors, the carriers,
attorneys, PHMSA, IATA—so if you have a question, you have
access to ask that person on a one-to-one basis.”
Erin Gaul, Geodis
“I’m gushing about this event. I’ve had such a great time.
Everybody’s been awesome.”

Safely shipping damaged
lithium ion batteries
and cells, or equipment
containing them, has always required expensive non-fiberboard
packaging with absorbent cushioning material. Until now.
Labelmaster now offers a new option that lets you ship such
products via ground, based on a special permit from the
Department of Transportation that grants relief from 49 CFR
§173.185(f) requirements.
The special permit also authorizes small cells and batteries to
be shipped in fiberboard packagings without having to declare
them as Class 9 fully regulated shipments—a big advantage when
return shipments are sent by consumers and retail employees.
How does it work?
You can send this Special Permit Packaging as return kits to
consumers and retail employees, with detailed closure, packing
and shipping instructions. It can be used for:
• Road and domestic sea transport only
• Lithium ion cells under 20 Wh
• Lithium ion batteries under 100 Wh
Packaging must be prominently marked with:
• The lithium battery handling label
• A battery safety document
• The words, “DO NOT TRANSPORT BY AIR –
GROUND SHIPMENT ONLY, DAMAGED/DEFECTIVE
LITHIUM ION BATTERY.”
Labelmaster offers both custom and in-stock packaging that
complies with this special permit.
Ask your account manager about Special Permit Packaging
for damaged lithium ion batteries or call 800.621.5808
to learn more.

before they even start playing. What’s the difference? Confidence.
How confident are you?
Add up your answers and see how your company compares
to the best-in-class compliance and safety organizations.
1. I can validate the compliance of all my organization’s
DG/hazmat shipments. ___
2. I can validate the compliance of DG/hazmat shipments
made by my suppliers, business partners and customers. ___
3. We have consistent processes for packaging, labeling and
documentation for outgoing shipments across my
entire organization. ___
4. Compliance responsibility is clearly defined and
communicated to all groups, divisions and locations
throughout my organization. ___
5. I stay up to date on all new and changing regulations. ___
6. All our required regulatory documents are up to date
and in appropriate locations. ___
7. Our training plans and records are complete, accurate
and easily located. ___
8. We have a clearly defined readiness metric for incidents
and employee safety issues. ___
9. We have identified and taken steps to address the
vulnerabilities that could lead to penalties and civil

TOTAL:
The members of the winning team have full confidence
in each other to execute their roles. Teams that lack
confidence look like any small setback can send them
into full panic mode.
Dangerous Goods compliance is the same way. When your
team has the infrastructure and knowledge in place to
adapt to regulatory changes, you’re calm and in control.
You know your shipments are fully compliant and safe.
If you’re not confident in your DG compliance?
Panic is right around the corner.
31% of shippers surveyed do not believe their companies
have the right technology in place to meet emerging regulations.*

1: No—and this question is making me sweat Turn the page to see what
your score means.
10. 10 DANGEROUS GOODS REPORT
What your total score means:
1–10: At risk—You are probably failing to comply with
several DG rules and regulations, and any of these violations
can spell disaster for your reputation or bottom line.
11–20: Room for improvement—Your facility may have
volumes of regulatory books, but consider a comprehensive
offering of industry-leading compliance software, products
and services.
21–30: On the right track—Is all your shipment
documentation accurate and in the correct location?
You can still identify and address potential vulnerabilities
within your operations.
31–40: Ahead of the pack—Get a competitive edge with
a fully integrated suite of software, electronic and print
regulatory materials and consulting services that trim costs
while keeping risk in check.
41–45: Compliance leader—Your company just flat-out gets
it. You’re compliant, cost-efficient and ultra-competitive.

Getting from here to there
Now that you know where your company stands on the
compliance confidence scale, how do you improve?
The first and most critical step is making sure your highest
executives understand that complete DG compliance isn’t
just following a bunch of rules to avoid the occasional fine.
You can overcome the attitude that fines and delays are just
a cost of doing business by pointing out other potential costs
of non-compliance:
• Carriers eventually getting fed up and refusing
your business
• Angry customers finding new suppliers
• Negative press from the discovery of safety
violations and, of course...
• Property damage, injuries, deaths and the
attendant lawsuits.
Stress that compliance is a competitive differentiator that
will improve visibility, burnish your company’s brand and
deliver real business value.
Once the C-suite has bought in, here are a few specific
steps you can take to start the transformation:
• Appoint a high-level champion to drive the project,
secure funding, map out a plan and hold participants
accountable. This person can even be you.
• Create a cross-functional team—including IT, EHS, and
supply chain and logistics management—responsible for
DG transport, packaging and shipping.
• Communicate your commitment to making compliance
a core part of your corporate culture. Hold periodic
update meetings and cheer team members who meet
key goals or benchmarks.
Make sure your commitment also reaches your suppliers,
dealers, distributors and customers, and be willing to invest
in their compliance as well.
It takes time to change attitudes and processes. Your
patience and perseverance will be rewarded with a
compliance culture across your enterprise.
And your team will have the confident look of a winner.

CHANGES ON THE FLY
A new paragraph was added (1.2.8.2) that clarifies what happens
if the regulations change while your shipment is in transit.
Bottom line—if the
shipment was compliant
when it left, it’s OK
through to its destination.
ABSORBING READING
When shipping liquid dangerous goods,
section 2.6.5 now allows for the absorbent material
to be either in the intermediate packaging or the outer packaging.
As always, we encourage you to review the upcoming changes
for yourself (which you can do at labelmaster.com/blog), but
we’ve highlighted a few of the significant ones here.
See pages 14 and 15 for the latest IATA DGR resources.
THE LATEST LITHIUM LABELS
All the entries for lithium batteries in the List of Dangerous Goods (4.2)
have been revised to indicate the new lithium battery Class 9 label.
HEAVY LIFTING
New provisions in section
5.0.1.12 have been added
to allow (with the approval
of the authorities of the
States of origin and the
operators) for the use of UN
specification large packagings
for articles that weigh in
excess of 400 kg (880 lbs.).
This new hazard class label comes into effect January 1, 2017
with a two-year transitional period during which time the existing
Class 9 – Miscellaneous hazard label may still be used.
BANNED ON PASSENGER AIRCRAFT
Among the changes to the List of Dangerous Goods (4.2), the
entry for UN 3480 (lithium batteries) now shows “forbidden”
across columns I and J to reflect the April 1, 2016 rule that
restricted UN 3480 to Cargo Aircraft Only.
