Hi Uli,
When we send our dry shipper from UK to ESRF, Grenoble, via FedEx we
place a following note on the box:
DRY SHIPPER, Non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-
restricted. Conforms with the IATA regulations Special Provision A800
We write the same in the Contents place of the International Air
Waybill, we do not have to fill any special declaration for
dangerous goods.
And this works fine for us.
I hope it will work for you too.
Cheers,
Aleks

Dear colleagues,
I am having the pleasure to organise a shipment of frozen crystals
from Germany to the UK, and the only way to do this seems to send
them by FedEx in a dry shipper (Taylor & Wharton CP100). My
question is, has anybody (perhaps from Germany?) done this before
and give me some advice? According to the people at FedEx, I need
somebody who is trained and authorized to fill in and sign a
“Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods”. This concerns mainly
the transport of nitrogen (the crystals are harmless). Does anybody
know, for instance, what the UN-No. for nitrogen in a dry shipper
is? Is it the same for liquid N2 (UN 1977) and the adsorbed
(vapour phase) form?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Uli
