Generate a compliant hazmat shipping paper — in your browser
Search the 49 CFR 172.101 hazardous materials table, fill a field-order-enforcing form, and get a 172.201-compliant ground shipping paper PDF — basic description in the required sequence, emergency response block, and the shipper's certification. Nothing uploads.
- Basic description in 172.202(a) order

- Files never leave your device
Nothing is uploaded — the PDF is built on this page from the bundled 172.101 table.
From the 172.101 table to a filed shipping paper in three steps
No software to install, no account. The generator is the page you're on.
Find the material
Type a proper shipping name or UN number. The typeahead searches the bundled 172.101 table and returns the exact entry with its hazard class, packing groups and label codes.
Describe it correctly
The form only lets you pick a packing group the entry actually allows, forces a technical name on n.o.s. entries, and assembles the basic description in the 172.202(a) order — ID number, name, class, packing group.
Generate the PDF
Add shipper, consignee and a 24-hour emergency number. Out comes a shipping paper with the emergency response block, ERG guide numbers and the signed shipper's certification.

Three-material shipping paper generated by this tool: basic descriptions in 172.202(a) order, emergency response block, signed certification.
Hard to get wrong, because the form won't let you
The expensive mistakes on a hazmat shipping paper are ordering errors, a missing packing group, a forgotten technical name, or no emergency number. HazShip builds the description from the 172.101 table and enforces those rules before it will produce a PDF — and it does it all in your browser, so nothing about your shipment leaves the page.
Correct field order, every time
ID number → proper shipping name → hazard class → packing group, exactly as 172.202(a) requires.
Validated against the table
Only authorized packing groups are selectable; n.o.s. entries demand a technical name.
Emergency block built in
24-hour emergency phone (172.604) plus per-material ERG guide numbers (172.602).
Signed certification
The verbatim 172.204 shipper's certification, with a signature and date block.

Answers before you ship
Is the output a compliant shipping paper?
It builds the basic description in the sequence required by 49 CFR 172.202(a) — identification number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group — applies the 172.203 additional-description rules (technical name for n.o.s., RQ, Waste, Marine Pollutant), includes the 172.602/172.604 emergency response information, and prints the verbatim 172.204 shipper's certification. You remain the offeror: confirm the classification, packaging and quantities are right for your shipment. HazShip is software, not regulatory advice.
Does my shipment data get uploaded?
No. The 172.101 table is bundled into the page and the PDF is built in your browser with pdf-lib. You can load the page, disconnect from the internet, and still generate the document. There is no server that receives your shipper, consignee or material details.
Which materials are in the table?
A curated set of the most commonly shipped ground-hazmat entries across classes 2 through 9 plus a couple of 1.4 explosives — gasoline, diesel, acids, bases, lithium batteries, aerosols, paint, corrosives and the common n.o.s. entries — each with its hazard class, authorized packing groups, label codes and ERG guide number. The table is updated when the HMT changes (roughly annually) and redeployed.
What do I get for $39?
A one-time license with 1,000 shipping-paper generations. It removes the free-tier watermark, lifts the 3-material limit, and enables the RQ, Waste, Marine Pollutant and Limited Quantity notations. No subscription, credits never expire. For comparison, a single missing or non-compliant shipping paper can draw an FMCSA penalty of up to about $1,270 per day.
