A shipper packages a hazardous solid into a single box weighing 500 pounds net, with an internal capacity of 30 gallons. A second shipment uses a single gas cylinder with a 1,200-pound water capacity. How are these two packagings classified?

Question

Accepted Answer

The box is non-bulk (under 882 lbs net mass and under 119 gallons capacity); the cylinder is bulk (over 1,000 lbs water capacity)

Answer

Both are non-bulk, because neither exceeds 882 pounds

Answer

Both are bulk, because any single container over 400 pounds is automatically bulk

Answer

The box is bulk because it's a solid; the cylinder is non-bulk because it's a gas
