+ | non hazardous material from the Hilo office to the telescope. | ||
+ | For return shipments, airbills and any other necessary paperwork | ||
+ | must be completed and signed before departing CSO. | ||
+ | Please complete the CSO {{cso_shipping_form.pdf|shipping form}} | ||
+ | and email or fax it to Diana as soon as possible. | ||
+ | |||

+ | == Hazardous materials == | ||
+ | Does your shipment contain materials such as compressed helium gas or other chemicals or gases? | ||
+ | If so, it is **essential** to consult with your safety office and shipping department and to let them know what you | ||
+ | are shipping. | ||
+ | They can advise you about the necessary procedures for proper compliance with laws and regulations. | ||
+ | It may be necessary for someone from your organization to be formally trained and certified in shipping hazardous materials. | ||
+ | Failure to comply may result in legal action. | ||
+ | It is also **essential** to contact the CSO manager well in advance of any such shipment. | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Dry Ice == | ||
+ | |||
+ | FedEx and UPS will accept shipments with dry ice. On your box, note the amount of dry ice along with the description of the contents. | ||
+ | Mark the 'dry ice' box on a regular FedEx airbill. FedEx will put a dry ice label on the box. | ||
+ | If there is less than 5 lbs of dry ice, a dangerous goods form is not required. | ||
