Shipment Limitations

Shipments that are certified to the ICAO, IATA, or 49 CFR that do not exceed the passenger quantity limitations of the certifying document can use the same Shipper's Declaration For Dangerous Goods form, when shipped by both commercial and military segments of air transport (called multiple mode shipments). Include any information required by A17.1.2.

However, for shipments that exceed the passenger quantity limitations of the ICAO, IATA, or 49 CFR, you must:

• Complete a Shipper's Declaration form according to the ICAO, IATA, or 49 CFR for the commercial segment and a separate Shipper's Declaration form according to this manual for the military segment.
• Place copies of the Shipper's Declaration form for subsequent movement in a waterproof envelope on the number one piece of the shipment.

DOD aerial port personnel will remove the copies of the Shipper's Declaration form from the envelope and remove the "Cargo Aircraft Only" label if not required for military transport.
