A. Two appropriate shipping descriptions are available. The first, “Hazardous waste , liquid, n.o.s., NA3082, III”, is preceded by the letter “D” in column 1 of the § 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table. The “D” indicates that the description is appropriate for domestic transportation but may be inappropriate for international transportation under the provisions of international regulations (e.g., the ICAO Technical Instructions or the IMDG Code). The second, “Waste, environmentally hazardous substance, liquid, n.o.s., UN3082”, is suitable for domestic or international transportation.
