Subsection 8.1 - Shipper's Declaration

A Shipper's Declaration of Dangerous Goods is required for all articles and substances of dangerous goods, with the exception of the items listed in Subsection 8.0.1.2. The shipper must provide two copies of any completed and signed declaration forms to the operator. One copy is retained by the accepting operator, and the other copy is forwarded with the shipment to its destination.

The operator does not have to accept the dangerous goods consignment. The operator reserves the right to require the shipper to have the Shipper's Declaration confirmed or endorsed by an authority nominated by the operator.

Review Subsection 8.1.9 for examples of completed Shipper's Declaration forms.
