Canada Road & Rail Transport - Reshipping Dangerous Goods

When a consignment of dangerous goods is transported from a place outside Canada to a place in Canada and is reshipped within Canada by road vehicle, the dangerous goods safety marks displayed in accordance with 49 CFR, the ICAO Technical Instructions, or the IMDG Code at the time of entry into Canada may continue to be displayed. An exception is for any large means of containment for dangerous goods which must have placards displayed on them in accordance with the safety marks requirements discussed in Section 6 of this course. If the dangerous goods are not regulated in Canada, the placards are not required.

If any of the safety marks on the means of containment are different from the ones required by the TDG Regulations, Part 4, Dangerous Goods Safety Marks, the shipping document must include a notation that the safety marks are in accordance with 49 CFR, the ICAO Technical Instructions, or the IMDG Code.
