Hazmat Tips...

Many common items used every day in the home or workplace may seem harmless. However, when transported by air, they can be very dangerous. In flight, variations in temperature and pressure can cause items to leak, generate toxic fumes or start a fire. By law, you must declare your hazardous materials to the airline, air package carrier, or USPS.

Do not pack in luggage or carry on board the following common items: fireworks, flammable liquids or solids (including paints/ lighter refills, matches), household items (including drain cleaners/ solvents), pressure containers (including spray cans, scuba tanks, propane, self inflating rafts), weapons (including pepper spray), or other hazardous materials (including dry ice, gas powered tools, wet-cell batteries, infectious substances).

The following are restricted or prohibited articles that many times are accidentally included w/personal effects: ammunition and weapons (including knives), aerosol cans (including hair spray, spray adhesives, aerosol shaving cream/ insect repellent), flammable liquids (including oil based paints, lighter fluid, and certain types of perfume), solvents (including acetone and thinners), petroleum based products (including gas or diesel powered engines, generators, and compressors), alkaline batteries, compressed gases (oxygen, nitrogen, acetylene), and animal products (including meat, dairy products, vegetable produce & products, certain skins, feathers, furs, and plants)…dry ice (4lbs or less) for packing perishables may be carried on board an aircraft provided the package is vented.

Be very careful when packing your equipment that no restricted articles are overlooked…if any of the above mentioned items are not declared and detected by the airline/ other carrier, it will jeopardize timely movement of the entire shipment (and shipper liable to heavy penalties/ confiscation of shipment). In the event the production needs to ship any of the above items, it should check to see if obtainable at shooting location or sent legally with appropriate packing/ permits.
