Provided the dangerous goods do not react dangerously with other substances, there is no problem in packing dangerous goods with non-dangerous goods. The Dec aration must show the dangerous goods first and thence show the non-dangerous empty cylinder as Not Restricted. Underneath, you will show OVERPACK USED. In the Handling Information box of the AWB, you will show ?gDangerous Goods as per attached Shipper?fs Dec aration?h and although the quantity on the AWB will show 1 piece, in the Nature & Quantity of Goods box, you May show 6 cylinders UN?c?c and 1 cylinder empty and not restricted. You May simply enter 7 cylinders but to align with the entry on the Dec aration, you will have to show that one of the 7 cylinders is empty. The AWB is a transport document and do not necessary have to show all the details. It is the shipper?fs responsibility to ensure that the empty cylinder is completely empty as spelled out in DGR 5.0.2.13.5, 7.1.5.6 and 7.2.3.12. Some airlines May ask for a Sep rate guarantee letter, or in the case of Japan Airlines, they require a special statement on the AWB for empty packages (Operator Variation JL-07). It is up to the airline to finally determine whether they will accept and transport the dangerous goods being tendered for transportation. ?@
