| Most of the OOT class 1 product line is authorized for
transport under direct approval of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). This
approval is evidenced by issuance of an EX-number, which is listed for each product in HAZLIST On-Line. In some cases, special provisions are required
for OOT to ship some of its products. These special provisions are allowed by USDOT in the
form of an exemption. Each exemption is referenced by a specific number, such as DOT-E
4850, DOT-E 8451, etc.
You should note that there is a difference between an exemption number and an
EX-number. An exemption number is issued for a specific document that allows the party to
transport HAZMAT under conditions not normally allowed under the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR). An EX-number is issued by USDOT to signify the approval of specific
explosive products for transport under conditions allowed by the HMR. An EX-number is not
an exemption number and an exemption number is not an EX-number. EX-numbers must be marked
on all packages of approved explosives; exemption numbers must appear only on packages
that are being shipped under an exemption. Additionally, the
exemption number must appear on any shipping paper, in association
with the hazardous materials description, that describes a exemption
shipment.
Examples of EX-numbers and exemption numbers
are:
