The classification is Exempt Human Specimen regardless of shipping method.

The classification is Exempt Human Specimen regardless of shipping method.

• A. It Depends on the Shipping Method
• B. It Is Always Dangerous Goods
• C. The Classification Is Exempt Human Specimen Regardless of Shipping Method
• D. It Must Always Be Labeled as Category B

Answer: (C)

Exempt Human Specimens stay out of the dangerous goods rules no matter how they’re shipped. The exemption is based on the nature of the material and meeting the specific criteria for the exemption, not on the transport method. So if a specimen qualifies as exempt, it remains exempt whether it’s sent by air, road, or sea. That’s why the correct choice says the classification is exempt regardless of shipping method. It’s not automatically dangerous goods, so labeling as Category B (UN 3373) isn’t required for exempt specimens, and saying it depends on the shipping method would contradict how the exemption is defined.
