MailTech must have notification in advance when a department intends to ship hazardous material through the USPS or through one of its commercial carrier accounts. The department must ensure that all required documents are with the shipment, including the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and have a properly packed and labeled shipment.

Under no circumstances will MailTech accept for shipment hazardous goods which are improperly packed, improperly labeled, or which lack a copy of the relevant SDS. MailTech staff actively coordinates with hazardous materials specialists from Environmental Health & Safety and will refer any questionable shipment to that office for examination prior to dispatch.

Prior coordination with MailTech will ensure that you will have the correct packaging and labeling information for your shipment.
