The shipping papers for hazardous materials must contain all of the following EXCEPT

CLT notes that hazardous materials shipping papers (DOT-required) must include correct descriptions (proper shipping name, hazard class, UN number), quantity, shipper/consignee info, emergency contact number, and be legibly printed or typed (mechanical). The requirement is primarily English for U.S. domestic shipments; many rules require English and Spanish, but the core regulatory requirement is legibility, not necessarily exclusively English text. Thus “text in English” is not an unconditional exception, but among those listed, “text in English” is the least direct regulatory requirement compared to accurate description, emergency contact, and legibility.
