IATA Class 9 Dry Ice Documentation

A Shipper's Declaration of Dangerous Goods is only required if the dry ice is used as a refrigerant for other dangerous goods that require a Shipper's Declaration. If a Shipper's Declaration is not required, then the following information must be contained in the "Nature and Quantity of Goods" box on the air waybill or in the appropriate location on the alternate transport documentation:

• UN 1845
• Proper shipping name: Dry Ice or Carbon Dioxide, solid
• The number of packages
• The net weight of dry ice in each package

If dry ice is being transported as a refrigerant for non-dangerous goods, it may be shipped in a unit load device. The shipper must have made prior arrangements with the operator, and the following information must be contained in the "Nature and Quantity of Goods" box on the air waybill or in the appropriate location on the alternate transport documentation:

• UN 1845
• Proper shipping name: Dry Ice or Carbon Dioxide, solid
• The number of packages and the net quantity of dry ice in each package if the ULD includes the packages that contain dry ice
• The identification number of the ULD and the net quantity of dry ice in each ULD if the dry ice is placed in the dry ice bunker of the ULD or loose in the ULD
