DOT's New Hazmat Reverse Logistics Rule What aerosol retailers need to know about this and other regulations that affect product shipping

摘要

Almost 9% of total U.S. purchases are returned to the amount of $284 billion annually. If products include dangerous goods, it only complicates returns. Coordinating consumer returns of hazardous materials—otherwise known as reverse logistics—can be a challenging part of business. Hazardous materials (hazmat) or dangerous goods (DG) make up an increasing number of manufactured items and include aerosols, paints and coatings, perfumes, cleaning solutions, batteries and battery-powered devices, electronics, smoke detectors and cosmetics.
