And Speaking Of Definitions, How About A Shot Of Ethyl Alcohol?

In another interpretation published by the DOT, a shipper asked whether a shipment of Tequila could be transported under the shipping name of "Ethyl Alcohol Solution" rather than the shipping name of "Alcoholic Beverages." In response, the DOT referenced Section 172.101 (c) (10) (i) (F) stating that a mixture or solution shall be described using the proper shipping name and the qualifying word "mixtures" or "solutions." Therefore, Tequila, an alcoholic beverage that is a solution of ethyl alcohol and non-hazardous materials, may be described under shipping name as either "Alcoholic Beverages, UN3065," or "Ethyl Alcohol Solution, UN1170."
