Before shipping MDEH, you must obtain a(n) ____________.

• A. Interim hazard classification
• B. Final hazard classification
• C. Shipping authorization
• D. Hazardous materials permit

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that you need a provisional assessment of the hazard to move MDEH. An interim hazard classification provides a documented, provisional hazard class/division and the corresponding packing instructions, so the material can be packaged, labeled, and shipped under current controls while a final determination is being completed. This allows you to generate the proper shipping papers and meet regulatory requirements in the meantime. A final hazard classification is done after further testing or assessment, so you wouldn’t wait for that to begin shipping. Shipping authorization and hazardous materials permits may come from different authorities or contexts, but the immediate prerequisite to proceed with the shipment is the interim hazard classification.
