What are hazardous materials?
Hazardous Materials are items that have been deemed hazardous in shipping situations. These materials are classified according to the CFR 49 statutes published by the Department of Transportation in Washington D.C.
How does this effect me?
If you order an item that is classified as hazardous material you may receive an assesorial charge from the company handling the freight or packages.
Who receives the extra charge?
The shipping company that imposes the charge receives the money. Sealpak Co. Inc. acts as the shipper and does not receive any of this charge.
Can I ship all of my hazmat items in one box?
In certain situations we can combine products. Sealpak Co. Inc. always consolidates products does everything possible to limit the costs of shipping hazardous materials.
