Transportation Classification

Assigning the correct transportation classification to your products is the first and most important step in properly preparing your products for transportation. The transport classification is the building block upon which shipping papers, marking , labelling, placarding, and emergency response are derived. A mistake in classification can have a ripple effect on the fines your company may face.

Let Atrion's Classification Experts Help You Stay in Compliance! 

We have an expert staff at your disposal to help your company deal with this complicated aspect of transportation compliance.  In addition to classification, Atrion can provide guidance on how to save the most money on hazmat transportation fees by pointing out applicable exemptions you can use to ship your product.

Atrion has also  created the leading automated transportation classification rules in the industry, tapping into toxicity, flammability, corrosivity, environmental data, etc. in order to propose the most appropriate transportation classification. These rules minimize the "human error" aspect of classifying a material, while at the same time our certified transportation experts will review and refine the proposed classification to ensure 100% accuracy.

In addition to Atrion's state-of-the-art algorithms, our classifications are enhanced with regulatory data relevant for that classification, which Atrion maintains in its robust database - DataLink Transport.
