What information must be listed on the package under Section I?

• A. UN number, proper shipping name, shipper/consignee name and address
• B. Only UN number
• C. Only proper shipping name
• D. Only the hazard class label

Answer: (A)

Section I needs the identifiers that uniquely describe the shipment and connect it to the people involved. The UN number tells exactly which material it is, the proper shipping name gives the standardized name for that material, and the shipper and consignee names and addresses tie the package to who sent it and where it’s going. This combination ensures the package can be identified, tracked, and handled correctly through the shipping system. Stating only a hazard class label or any single piece leaves out essential information and wouldn’t meet the required labeling and documentation standards.
