Other Carriers
The air cargo and airline industries do not publish detailed packaging instructions except for special articles such as live animals, human remains, seafood, etc. Individual carriers - UPS, Fed Ex, the US Postal Service, and others -- publish their own tariffs. Both UPS and Fed Ex require compliance with Item 222. Also, both require that the packages they carry are of minimum 200 burst strength or 32 ECT, and are capable of meeting International Safe Transit Association (ISTA) -- Preshipment Testing Procedures. It is best to check with the carriers themselves to determine if there are any special requirements.
