Regardless of method of shipment, D.O.T. and I.A.T.A. regulations require the use of special packaging for certain hazardous chemicals. Additional charges for hazardous packaging and transportation will be added to the invoice. TCI America's standard hazardous packaging charge is $15.00 per box of hazardous materials shipped. A $5.00 handling fee will also be added to each shipment. We will notify the customer of these costs when orders are placed and will attempt to reduce the costs by consolidating compatible items.
RETURN SHIPMENTS
Charges will be imposed on catalog items returned due to your error.

Orders less than $30.00 will not be authorized for return.
Items which are proven defective or non-conforming to our specifications will be replaced at no charge or, at our discretion, credit issued upon receipt of returned goods.
All claims for replacement or credit must be made within 10 days of receipt of goods.
Our liability for any and all claims, losses or damages arising for any cause, including our negligence, shall in no event exceed the purchase price of the materials with respect to which the cause arose. In no event shall we be liable for incidental or consequential damages.
PURITY
TSCA/USAGE
The hazards, physiological and toxicological properties of most of our chemicals have not yet been fully investigated and/or determined.
Therefore, all of our chemicals should be handled with the utmost caution when they are used, stored or during disposal. TCI America makes no guarantee of any results and assumes no liability for damage to any person, persons or property resulting from incorrect handling, storage, usage or disposal of our products. TCI America is not responsible for conditions and actions which are beyond our control.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS (MSDS)
Every effort is made to provide current known information. However, the nature of new research chemicals precludes complete knowledge. TCI America makes no claim as to the completeness, correctness, currency, or comprehensiveness of information provided in our MSDS'. TCI America's products are intended for use by qualified professionals only, who are familiar with the potential hazards, and have been fully trained in proper safety, laboratory and chemical handling procedures.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL DISPOSAL
All waste disposal of chemicals should be handled only by individuals who have received specific chemical education and training and who are conversant with chemical handling and safety procedures. Since the hazards and physical properties of any chemical may not yet be fully determined, only technically qualified persons familiar with potential hazards should be responsible for their disposal.
The following reference books may be used as a resource:
The Manufacturing Chemists Associations "Guide for Safety in the Chemical Laboratory", published by Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 1972.
"Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories", 1981, and "Prudent Practices for Disposal of Chemical from Laboratories", 1983, published by National Academy Press, Washington, D.C.
HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS
When known, hazard class, Merck Index, Chemical Abstract and RTECS Numbers are provided for each chemical. TCI America does not accept any responsibility for this information's correctness, completeness, or that it may fully provide all hazardous properties of each chemical. Chemicals may be extremely toxic or otherwise hazardous. The absence of warning as to these conditions cannot and should not be interpreted as an indication of safety.
All products should be handled only by individuals familiar with their potential hazards and who have been fully trained in proper safety, laboratory, and chemical handling procedures. MSDS' will be provided as required by OSHA's Hazard Communication standard.
If a product is hazardous, the product description will carry a number of 1-9. This number is for one of the nine classes determined by the UN Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. The UN classes relate to the type of hazard:
1. Explosives
2. Compressed gases
3. Flammable and combustible liquids
4. Flammable solids, spontaneously combustible materials, and materials that are dangerous when wet
5. Oxidizers and organic peroxides
6. Toxic materials
7. Radioactive materials
8. Corrosive materials
9. Miscellaneous hazardous materials
