The recent amendment to Special Provision PP12 has introduced significant changes to the requirements applicable to packaging intended for the maritime transport of charcoal of animal or vegetable origin, classified as UN 1361 (Class 4.2) under the IMDG Code.
In light of this regulatory update, companies that sell or transport these types of products must ensure that their packaging meets the new requirements to guarantee safety during international maritime transport.
