2) dangerous goods as described in sub-paragraphs d) and e) of paragraph 1;2.3.2 of these instructions are permitted for transport in airmail to, transiting through, or from France only if shipped by a designated postal operator. (See the Universal Postal Union’s (UPU) website at:
http://www.upu.int/fileadmin/documentsFiles/activities/postalSecurity
/listAuthorizedDOsLithiumBatteriesEn.pdf).
The emergency response information described below must appear on shipments of dangerous goods to, from, within or transiting through France. This provision does not apply to the transport of magnetized material or dangerous goods for which no transport document is required.
— The transport document required under the ICAO Technical Instructions must contain a telephone number by means of which emergency response information can be obtained in case of an incident and/or accident involving the dangerous goods being transported.
— This telephone number must be available 24 hours a day and must include the regional codes and, for international numbers outside France, the country and city codes needed to complete the call from France.
— This telephone number must be monitored at all times by a person who:
— is knowledgeable concerning the hazards and characteristics of the dangerous goods being transported;

— can immediately call upon a person who possesses such knowledge and information.
In accordance with Articles L. 1333-8 and R. 1333-146 of the Code of Public Health, companies conducting the following activities in France must make a declaration to the ASN:
— the handling of packages of radioactive substances for transports including a stop at a French airport;
— the conveyance of packages of radioactive substances (within the airport area or by air);
— the loading or unloading of packages of radioactive substances onto/from aircraft.
Declarations may be made through ASN teleservices portal (https://teleservices.asn.fr/ - under the “Transport of radioactive substances” section).
Any change in the company name or the UN numbers of the transported packages requires an amending declaration. An update to the declaration must be made immediately if there is any change in the identity or contact information of the contact person for radiological emergencies.
Companies conducting transport operations of sealed radioactive sources or of batches of category A, B or C sources as defined in Annex 13-7 of the Code of Public Health must receive prior authorization from the ASN. The application procedures for authorization can be found on the website (www.asn.fr).
If a company permanently discontinues the activities that have been declared or authorized, it should inform the ASN through the ASN teleservices portal indicated above.
National regulations require that most explosives which are to be imported be classified before they are brought into the United Kingdom, by HM Explosives Inspectorate of the Health and Safety Executive or the Explosives Storage and Transport Committee.

This notification is in addition to, and not instead of, that required under Annex 13.
Biological substances, Category B (UN 3373) are not permitted in international mail either to or from the United Kingdom. Biological substances, Category B (UN 3373) are not permitted in domestic mail except under special arrangements. Exempt patient specimens are not permitted in international or domestic mail except under special arrangements.
When any operator intends to overfly the United Kingdom carrying any package containing radioactive material with an activity greater than: (a) for special form 3000 A1 or 100000 A2, whichever is the lower; or (b) for all other radioactive material 3000 A2, it must notify the Dangerous Goods Office (contact details as in GB 24) at least two working days before the expected date of the flight, providing the information required by 5;1.2.1.4 d), together with the names and addresses of the shipper and consignee, and the contact details for the operator. If the flight does not take place as planned, or if there are any changes in the information provided, the Dangerous Goods Office must be notified immediately. The operator is not required to wait for any acknowledgement or acceptance before carrying out the flight.
In accordance with 1;4.1.2, national regulations require the following dangerous goods training programmes to be subject to review and approval by the Civil Aviation Authority:

Transport of dangerous goods by air must be in accordance with United States’ Regulations (49 CFR 171-180) or these Technical Instructions as limited by 49 CFR Part 171, Subpart C. The requirements of 49 CFR 175 apply to the offering, acceptance, and transportation of dangerous goods in commerce by aircraft to, from, or within the United States, and to any aircraft of United States’ registry anywhere in air commerce. Part 175 contains additional requirements applicable to any person who performs, attempts to perform, or is required to perform a function subject to 49 CFR and is also applicable to air passengers and crew.
When the Technical Instructions are used for consignments of dangerous goods, failure to comply with the Technical Instructions and all relevant United States’ variations is a violation of the United States’ regulations.
The appropriate national authority for the United States is:
English must be used for all required package markings and for the dangerous goods transport document. Abbreviations may not be used unless they are specifically authorized by these Instructions or by Subpart C and D of 49 CFR 172.
A copy of the transport document, or an electronic image thereof, must be retained by the shipper for not less than two years after the dangerous goods are accepted by the initial operator. Each shipping paper copy must include the date of acceptance by the initial operator, except that the date on the air waybill or bill of lading may be used in place of the date of acceptance by the initial operator. For a hazardous waste, the transport document must be retained for three years after the waste material is accepted by the initial operator.
Note.— The United States’ Regulations, as well as interpretations regarding their use, are available via the internet at http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/regs. Questions regarding the Regulations may be directed to the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety Information Center at (800) 467-4922, (202) 366-4488 or by e-mail at infocntr@dot.gov.

Note 1.— Dangerous goods that are forbidden on passenger aircraft by 49 CFR 172.101 (Column 9A) are also forbidden on passenger aircraft even when the ICAO Technical Instructions permit such carriage. Dangerous goods that are forbidden on cargo aircraft by 49 CFR 172.101 (Column 9B) are also forbidden on cargo aircraft even when the ICAO Technical Instructions permit such carriage.
Note 2.— Dangerous goods not permitted for carriage by passengers or crew in checked or carry-on baggage by 49 CFR 175.10 are not permitted for such carriage even when authorized by Part 8 of these Instructions. For example, the carriage of avalanche rescue backpacks by passenger or crew (see Table 8-1, 17)) is not authorized.
For substances where this variation is identified in column 6 of Table 3-1, the following provisions apply:
1) if A1 appears in column 7, the substance may not be transported to, from or within the United States aboard a passenger aircraft without the prior approval of the appropriate authority of the U.S. (see US 1);
2) if A2 appears in column 7, the substance may not be transported to, from or within the United States aboard a passenger or cargo aircraft without the prior approval of the appropriate authority of the U.S. (see US 1);

6) initial methods for handling spills or leaks in the absence of a fire; and
7) preliminary first aid measures.
The information must be printed in English, available away from the package containing the dangerous goods and immediately accessible in the event of an incident. Methods of compliance include, but are not limited to:
1) including the information on the Transport document;
2) locating the information in a separate document such as a material safety data sheet which includes at least all of the information listed above; or
3) providing the information for use in conjunction with the Transport document (or aboard aircraft, in conjunction with the Information to Pilot-in-Command as required in 7;4.1 of these Instructions), in a separate document, such as the ICAO Emergency Response Guidance for Aircraft Incidents involving Dangerous Goods (Doc 9481).
