Pesticides should always be transported in a safe and correct manner. According the US Department of Transportation, one of the most frequently cited safety violations is the failure of the shipper to properly describe hazardous materials on their shipping papers. Fines and clean up fees can result in serious monetary fines. The Hazardous Materials Regulations do not require a shipper to use a specific form but does require the proper information be placed on the shipping papers in a prescribed order, and the information must meet the regulatory requirements describing the hazardous material.
