According to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (also known as the HMR), shipping papers must accompany most hazardous material, or HAZMAT, shipments.

Shipping papers prove vital to transportation carriers, who must transport hazardous materials safely, and to emergency responders when responding to HAZMAT incidents.
