International Transportation Regulations Course
Course Overview

Having problems or difficulties completing papers for international hazardous materials shipments? If you’re like most people, you simply assume that the classification and shipping description for domestic shipments is sufficient, but there are differences between these regulations.

ChemADVISOR’s day and a half International Transportation Regulations course is designed to give people involved with international hazardous materials shipments an overview of the different regulations governing these shipments around the world.
