Figure 1-2.

Commodity Codes.

The fourth position of the Commodity/Special Handling Code is keyed

to Paragraph 14 of Appendix B of MILSTAMP and is shown at Figure 1-3.

This figure lists general characteristics of cargoes, including the

general types of hazardous cargoes. These characteristics are keyed

to an alphanumeric character that is in the fourth position of the

Commodity/Special Handling Code.

In Figure 1-3, six codes--the

characters H, M, Q, Z, 1 and 2--are associated with nonhazardous

cargo. Any character other than these in the fourth position of the

code indicates hazardous material.
