The Hazardous Materials Table, also referred to as the Table,
or HMT, lists alphabetically, by proper shipping name, those
materials that the U.S. Department of Transportation has
designated as hazardous materials for the purpose of
transportation. The Table provides information used in shipping
papers, package marking, and labeling, and prescribes quantity
limits on aircraft and railcars, stowage of hazardous materials
aboard vessels, and transport vehicle placarding applicable to
the shipment and transportation of those hazardous materials.
This module assumes that the manufacturer or shipper has
already identified the hazardous material.
