Some, but not all, chemical shipping containers are marked with DOT (Department of Transportation) labels indicating the hazards of the contents; flammable liquid, oxidizer, toxic, dangerous when wet, corrosive, etc. Also, well known chemical suppliers such as Sigma-Aldrich, Fisher Scientific, Alfa Aesar, Strem Chemicals, and others (Bio-Rad), suggest chemical contents.
