Hazardous Materials

Due to heightened security concerns, even greater scrutiny is being given to shipment content. At FSI, we ship materials that can be considered hazardous such as alcohol, canned air and certain types of epoxy, etc. Because of the shipping laws that are instituted by our carriers, there are additional fees that must be added to the cost of the products themselves. There is a minimum $30 fee to transport any materials that are considered hazardous in nature, on top of the actual costs for shipping. All hazardous materials must be shipped via ground transportation. UPS accepts non-bulk quantities of hazardous materials shipments for transport by "highway and rail" modes when prepared in accordance with the Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) or as appropriate, regulations promulgated by International Civil Aviation Association (ICAO).
