Change is in the air. On Jan. 1, the International Air Transport Association’s revised dangerous-goods regulations took effect. On our “One-Off Sound-Off” blog, you’ll find an infographic from Labelmaster that highlights some of the changes and tells what they mean for shippers. In addition to answering questions like “What happens if regulations change while my shipment is in transit?,” it covers new lithium battery labeling requirements and provides links to additional resources.
