Title 49: Transportation
§ 171.12 North American Shipments.
(a) Requirements for the use of the Transport Canada TDG Regulations. (1) A hazardous material transported from Canada to the United States, from the United
States to Canada, or transiting the United States to Canada or a foreign destination may be offered for transportation or transported by motor carrier and rail in
accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations (IBR, see §171.7) as authorized in §171.22, provided the requirements in §§171.22 and 171.23, as
applicable, and this section are met. In addition, a cargo tank motor vehicle, portable tank or rail tank car authorized by the Transport Canada TDG Regulations may be
used for transportation to, from, or within the United States provided the cargo tank motor vehicle, portable tank or rail tank car conforms to the applicable requirements
of this section. Except as otherwise provided in this subpart and subpart C of this part, the requirements in parts 172, 173, and 178 of this subchapter do not apply for a
material transported in accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations.
(2) General packaging requirements. When the provisions of this subchapter require a DOT specification or UN standard packaging to be used for transporting a
hazardous material, a packaging authorized by the Transport Canada TDG Regulations may be used, subject to the limitations of this part, and only if it is equivalent to
the corresponding DOT specification or UN packaging (see §173.24(d)(2) of this subchapter) authorized by this subchapter.
(3) Bulk packagings. A portable tank, cargo tank motor vehicle or rail tank car equivalent to a corresponding DOT specification and conforming to and authorized by the
Transport Canada TDG Regulations may be used provided
(i) An equivalent type of packaging is authorized for the hazardous material according to the §172.101 table of this subchapter;
(ii) The portable tank, cargo tank motor vehicle or rail tank car conforms to the requirements of the applicable part 173 bulk packaging section specified in the §172.101
table for the material to be transported;
(iii) The portable tank, cargo tank motor vehicle or rail tank car conforms to the requirements of all assigned bulk packaging special provisions (B codes, and T and TP
codes) in §172.102 of this subchapter; and
(iv) The bulk packaging conforms to all applicable requirements of §§173.31, 173.32, 173.33 and 173.35 of this subchapter, and parts 177 and 180 of this subchapter.
The periodic retests and inspections required by §§173.31, 173.32 and 173.33 of this subchapter may be performed in accordance with part 180 of this subchapter or in
accordance with the requirements of the TDG Regulations provided that the intervals prescribed in part 180 of this subchapter are met.
(v) Rail tank cars must conform to the requirements of Canadian General Standards Board standard 43.147 (IBR, see §171.7).
(4) Cylinders. When the provisions of this subchapter require that a DOT specification or a UN pressure receptacle must be used for a hazardous material, a packaging
authorized by the Transport Canada TDG Regulations may be used only if it corresponds to the DOT specification or UN standard authorized by this subchapter.
Unless otherwise excepted in this subchapter, a cylinder (including a UN pressure receptacle) may not be transported unless
(i) The packaging is a UN pressure receptacle marked with the letters “CAN” for Canada as a country of manufacture or a country of approval or is a cylinder that was
manufactured, inspected and tested in accordance with a DOT specification or a UN standard prescribed in part 178 of this subchapter, except that cylinders not
conforming to these requirements must meet the requirements in §171.23. Each cylinder must conform to the applicable requirements in part 173 of this subchapter for
the hazardous material involved.
(ii) The packaging is a Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) specification cylinder manufactured, originally marked and approved in accordance with the CTC
regulations and in full conformance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations.
(A) The CTC specification corresponds with a DOT specification and the cylinder markings are the same as those specified in this subchapter except that they were
originally marked with the letters “CTC” in place of “DOT”;
(B) The cylinder has been requalified under a program authorized by the Transport Canada TDG Regulations or requalified in accordance with the requirements in
§180.205 within the prescribed requalification period provided for the corresponding DOT specification;
(C) When the regulations authorize a cylinder for a specific hazardous material with a specification marking prefix of “DOT”, a cylinder marked “CTC” which otherwise
bears the same markings that would be required of the specified “DOT” cylinder may be used; and
(D) Transport of the cylinder and the material it contains is in all other respects in conformance with the requirements of this subchapter (e.g. valve protection, filling
requirements, operational requirements, etc.).
(5) Class 1 (explosive) materials. When transporting Class 1 (explosive) material, rail and motor carriers must comply with 49 CFR 1572.9 and 1572.11 to the extent
the requirements apply.
(6) Primary lithium batteries and cells. Packages containing primary lithium batteries and cells that meet the exception in §172.102, Special Provision 188 or
189 of this subchapter must be marked “PRIMARY LITHIUM BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT” or “LITHIUM
METAL BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER AIRCRAFT.” The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to packages that
contain 5 kg (11 pounds) net weight or less of primary lithium batteries cells that are contained in or packed with equipment.
