[Luke McCormick]

Just a reminder that under DOT there are exempt quantities (no requirements whatsoever) as well as excepted package quantities.

> If you are shipping materials outside the US (or inside the US by commercial air carrier), you will be subject to IATA regs. The UN-2911 nomenclature is a little bit different. It breaks up DOT's "Instruments and Articles" to either "Instruments" or "Articles". Also, IATA has exemptions/additional requirements for different countries. You have to be mindful of them when labeling and marking packages.
