Question (11.23.21):
Hi Daniel,
I saw your video on YouTube and had a couple questions I was hoping you could answer for me. Regarding Limited Quantities, does the UN number get written on the Limited Quantities sticker?
Answer (11.23.21):
Thank you for contacting me. Please see below.
- No. the ID# for a HazMat is never displayed on the limited quantity mark. Nothing may be displayed on the limited quantity mark.
- The ID# is not displayed anywhere on a package of a limited quantity unless it is to be transported by air.
- The only required marks and labels on a limited quantity by highway, rail, or vessel is the following:
- The limited quantity mark.
- Orientation arrows (displayed on two opposite vertical sides) if the HazMat is a liquid.
-
- Hazard communication required for limited quantity by air.
-
- Hazard communication required for limited quantity by highway, rail, or vessel.
I hope this helps. Please contact me with any other questions.

Conclusion:
Exceptions to the HazMat transportation regulations – such as the limited quantity exception – provide an opportunity for shippers of HazMat to save time and money when offering HazMat for transportation. However, care must be taken to ensure compliance with the requirements of the exception. My HazMat Employee training focuses on this and other packaging exceptions if applicable to your operations. Just let me know what you need and I will include it in your training.
