What must be included on the Shipper's Declaration for the Ebola Blood sample?

• A. Proper Shipping Name UN2814 Infectious Substance, Affecting humans (Ebola virus)
• B. Shipper's signature only
• C. Temperature of refrigeration only
• D. Quantity only

Answer: (A)

The essential point is that the Shipper's Declaration must identify the dangerous goods with their exact shipping name and UN number. For an Ebola blood sample, the correct identification is “Infectious substance, affecting humans” with UN 2814, and it’s common to include the agent name in parentheses (Ebola virus) to make the specific substance clear. This precise naming and the UN number tell everyone along the transport chain exactly what hazard they’re dealing with and what handling, packaging, and emergency procedures are required. A signature alone, a temperature value, or a quantity alone do not identify the substance being shipped, so they don’t satisfy the identification requirement by themselves.
