The samples are 25-50 mg each, and they are being sent for analysis within the US (planning to ship by ground). All hazmat shipments at UVM go through the EHS department here since we have all been DOT and IATA trained.
This has been so helpful, thank you!

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] shipment of uncharacterized samples
If they classify as diazo-acetic esters you maybe be able to classify under a class. I've
seen it done on SDS forms: halogenated aromatics for example.
They also have exceptions for small mass or volume.
It sounds like the compounds
If they are entirely novel chemistry, ( organometallic, high nitrogen content or peroxides) that could be an issue.
You may want to call Sigma Aldrich custom synthesis Dept and get some advice on shipping

Can't help you with DOT, but an SDS will be required. See http://www.ilpi.com/msds/faq/partc.html#laboratory as well as

I'm wondering if anyone can give me some guidance on shipping samples that haven't been characterized. I have a researcher who is looking to ship four samples that he synthesized in the lab. They are similar in structure to ethyl diazoacetate
(which is a 4.1). I've been looking through the guidelines, but I haven't been able to find anything definitive (though I'm not sure if I'm looking in the correct place). Any help will be greatly appreciated!
