Limited Quantities
They have the hazard of a dangerous good class
but they have a lower relative risk !
Phantom risks and real risks compete not only for our resources, but also for our attention. It’s a shame when a mother is worried about toxic chemicals, and yet her kids run around unvaccinated and without bicycle helmets.”(John Graham, Director Harvard Center for Risk Analysis)

HARMONIZATION needed
Consumer Commodity (for Air)
The training requirements for the air mode are much morerestrictive
Consumer Commodity is a good approach to simplify operations :
Only one, easy understandable packing instruction
Only one type of marking on the packagings
Only one documentation phrase
This is easy to train and simple to fulfill!
It reduces the number of undeclared shipments
