Excepted Quantity Packaging

Some types of dangerous goods may be transported in very small quantities as cargo-only and are excepted from the packaging, marking, loading, and documentation requirements of the DGR. This provision is referred to as Excepted Quantities. Excepted quantities of dangerous goods are not permitted in checked or carry-on baggage or in the mail. These packages require a special Excepted Quantity label and must be listed on the Air Waybill.

DGR 2.6.2.2 lists the classes and divisions of dangerous goods substances that may be carried under the provisions for Excepted Quantities. It is important to note that not all dangerous goods may be treated as excepted quantities.
