RegulationsQuestion 5 of 80

a.The shipping name and hazard class are fixed and cannot be changed
b.The material is forbidden from transport
c.The driver may choose any hazard class
d.The material requires no shipping paper
Explanation
A plus sign locks the proper shipping name, hazard class, and packing group for that entry even if the material does not otherwise meet the class definition. It removes any judgment about the classification. This keeps naming consistent across shippers.
