Dry Ice Shipping
FSMS allows you to ship packages containing dry ice, as long as the specifics for the dry ice shipment
are included in the shipping transaction. The following shipping rules apply to dry ice shipments:
• Dry ice shipping is allowed for both U.S. Domestic, intra-Canadian, and FedEx International Express
shipments.
• Dry ice weight is measured in the same weight units as the package weight set in field 75 (Weight
Type).
• The weight entered for dry ice must be less than the total weight of the shipment.
• Dry ice is considered a packing material and does not require any Dangerous Goods fields for
shipping.
NOTE:
Previously, dry ice weight was required to be in kilograms only and entered in field 43 (Dry Ice
Weight). A new weight field for package weight, field 1670 (Package/Shipment Weight), allows
for two implied decimals for all weight entries regardless of weight type (pounds or kilograms).
To provide transactional consistency, a new Dry Ice Weight field (field 1684), was also
introduced with the same two implied decimal parameters. This new field also accepts dry ice
weight in either pounds or kilograms depending on the weight type chosen for the shipment
itself in field 75 (Weight Type).
