To my knowledge, only if it’s going on an airplane or a boat...

Was there a hazmat listing on the BOL?
Were there “flammable” markings on the packages?
The absence of those two things mean it’s not a hazmat load.roshea Thanks this. -
To my recollection, I saw the load itself. Boxes had the name of product. There was no diamond and I assume the writing on the box(couldn't read from that distance) had your usual warnings. I only saw the product description on the bol, I didn't get to go over it thoroughly. -
bulk shipments over 8,000# [regardless of packaging] from the same shipper require class 9 with ID number.....spindrift Thanks this.

limited quantity exemption....should have been marked so on the bills

So it was ok if I had hauled it then. I ain't no politician making rules, I guess they are the smart ones, but it didn't seem right.
-
a lot depends on the package size. nasty stuff for consumer use is often packed in tiny packages. Some LQ is even allowed on airplanes...a good example is the actual airplane bottles, booze is flammable too...those tiny bottles are cost control but you can bet that, somewhere hidden in a file drawer, is a report from some airline expert pushing those little bottles as a safety item.......James j Thanks this.

For bulk shipments yes, but those are a different animal and don’t count towards the aggregate total for placarding.
-
Or if it is a single virgin product in excess of 8250 or around there. Then it must be bulk. Say you have 10,000 of 1993 in drums. By itself it would need bulk placard. But add a 3175 drum. Then it would be a flammable liquid 3.
