What would be done with shipments that fell short of shipping standards? Would they be sent back or taken in and tested for hazardous content?
Shipments that do not meet standard shipping regulations will be quarantined for examination and investigation. If the package originated with a known supplier, but does not meet laboratory receipt standards, it will be returned provided its return transportation poses no risk to handlers. If the origin of the transportation is not clear, and/or there is any concern the package is hazardous, the shipment will be handled within the facility by the appropriate federal agencies. The facility will train employees in the procedures for responding to such situations.
