A Limited Quantity Exemption may apply to your shipment if you are shipping small quantities of dangerous goods. This exemption is a simpler regulatory alternative to preparing all DG shipments as fully regulated.
If your goods can be shipped using this exemption, you will see a number greater than zero shown in the column “Limited Quantity Index” (TDGR Schedule 1, Column 6). Please note that explosives cannot be transported as a Limited Quantity in Canada.
Purolator accepts Limited Quantity courier and freight shipments for ground transportation only. Limited Quantity shipments can be declared online or using the Purolator E-Ship® Server by choosing the Limited Quantity option in the menu.
