sel, marine pollutants subject to the

ciation with the basic description.

portation is by vessel, marine pollut-

and the fact that it is an elevated tem-
perature material is not disclosed in 
the proper shipping name (for example,

immediately precede the proper ship-
ping name of the material on the ship-
ping paper.
