Certification of Equivalency
A DOD Certification of Equivalency (COE) is a certification that a proposed packaging either equals or exceeds the requirements set by 49 CFR 100-199. COEs can be used as authority for shipment by military air, if applicable.
You must follow all requirements of the COE, and provide a copy of the COE for each shipment; it must accompany the cargo in the Defense Transportation System.
A COE can be used between a domestic APOE and a domestic Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD), or on a military controlled aircraft from a non-domestic Aerial Port of Embarkation (APOE) to a domestic APOD. Refer to GDSS 4500.9-R, Part II for other authorized COE modes of transportation.
COEs cannot be used for international commercial shipments unless the item is exempted from UN specification requirements (A3.1.1.1), or the item, at all times, is transported by military controlled airlift including Civil Air Reserve Fleet.
Refer to 2.6 for more details on COEs.
