The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations and the International Transport Association (IATA) are the regulatory agencies responsible to provide oversight safe shipping of chemicals when shipped by ground or air. Both agencies require specific procedures to be followed when shipping hazardous materials. Since 9/11, these agencies have really stepped up their enforcement of these rules and they conduct unannounced inspections.
