Attention!!

On November 25, 2005 the Department of Transportation changed the designation of our DOT-E 8249 "Exemption" package, to DOT-SP 8249. "SP" stands for "Special Permit".

Everything about the package remains the same. It is exempt from labeling and is used exactly the same way. Only the DOT designation has changed.

If you have any packages marked DOT-E 8249 they may continue to be used under this special permit for the remaining service life of the packaging or until the special permit is no longer valid.

New packages will be marked DOT-SP 8249 on or before October 1, 2006.

Shipping papers displaying DOT-E 8249 may continue to be used until October 1, 2006.
