SAAMI Adds HAZMAT Special Permit Information to Website
SHELTON, Conn. — The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute®, Inc., (SAAMI®), has published a new webpage on SAAMI.org dedicated to providing HAZMAT Special Permit information to users.
HAZMAT Special Permits are documents issued by the United States Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration to ensure the safe transportation of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) when not otherwise permitted in the Hazardous Materials Regulations.
The new SAAMI HAZMAT Special Permit page lists Special Permits relevant to the transportation of ammunition and components. Each of the Special Permits is listed and includes a description about what the Special Permits authorize. Also provided is information on how to look up a Special Permit and how to apply for Party Status.
“We’ve added this information in response to requests from SAAMI member companies,” said Joe Bartozzi, SAAMI’s President & CEO. “In making this information easily available, we are fulfilling a component of SAAMI’s mission to help ensure ammunition and components are transported safely throughout the world.”
The new webpage is called HAZMAT Special Permits and is located under Transportation and Storage Regulations Information.
