USCG Pre-Inspection Coast Guard conducts pre-inspections to: Identify any potential problems prior to containers being loaded Answer questions from the HAZMAT Certifiers Verify that all Hazardous Materials are accounted for

All Hazmat will be inspected for conformity of all DoD, Federal, and International regulations. Any discrepancies will be corrected with the assistance of the US Coast Guard Inspector.

Required Documentation/Paperwork DD 2890 – Hazardous Material Declaration July 2012 (all other versions are obsolete) DD 2781 – Container Packing Certificate Emergency Response Guide (ERG)-2012 UN number and Proper Shipping Name MUST be written on the top of each ERG sheet for its correlating Hazardous Material Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)- needed for each hazardous material. MSDS must match the product that is being shipped. Inspectors will also need to review your DD-1750 packing/ inventory list to ensure all hazmat is declared
