(Question on using dry ice to cool non-dangerous goods.)
Q.
When dry ice is used to cool non-dangerous goods, according to PI 954, the Shipper’s Dangerous Goods Declaration is not needed, but specific entries must be made on the AWB. I understand the net quantity of dry ice must be indicated but what about the marking of shipper and consignee? (30 Apr 18)
A.
When packing dry ice to cool non-dangerous goods, as stipulated in PI 954 under Additional Packing Requirements, In packages, item (c), the Shipper’s Dangerous Goods Declaration is not needed. Also in item (d), 4 entries are required in the “Nature and Quantity of Goods” box on the AWB, i.e., UN 1845, Proper Shipping Name, Number of Packages, and Net quantity of dry ice in each package. A sample of the AWB is shown in Figure 8.2.E and the requirement is written in DGR 8.2.3.

The package must be marked with the name and address of the shipper and the consignee, UN 1845, Proper Shipping Name and the net quantity of dry ice. The package must bear a Class 9 Hazard Label.

I do not understand your question “what about the marking of shipper and consignee” but obviously if the package do not carry the shipper and consignee’s names and addresses, the package would get lost.
