Each subscription plan comes with different features and cost benefits. If you ship hazardous materials or dangerous goods only a few times per year, then the Pay As You Go plan may be beneficial for you with its no commitment, buy only what you need concept. If you ship dangerous goods on a daily basis, then perhaps the Annual Subscription plan is ideal for you since it provides unlimited shipping papers at one cost-effective annual price.
Please visit our pricing plans page to learn more about each subscription plan and how to sign up.

Yes, hazardous materials training requirements are still applicable for any employee who performs any function that is regulated by the U.S. DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). The HMR does not offer any exemptions from hazmat training. Individuals who are self-employed and ship hazmat must be properly trained. The employer is responsible for making sure that its "hazmat employees" (as defined in 49 CFR §171.8) receive the proper hazardous materials training as required by 49 CFR §172.702 and §172.704.
Those who transport or are involved with Dangerous Goods under IATA DGR and/or IMDG Code regulations must comply with the guidelines set forth for each respective authority of Dangerous Goods transport.
While third-party solutions like ShipHazmat are designed to simplify and help guide shippers of hazardous materials and dangerous goods through the documentation and packaging process, they are not substitutions for applicable training requirements as required by law.
