The letter “A” in column 1 indicates restrictions apply during transportation by aircraft. The letter “W” in column 1 indicates restrictions apply during transportation by vessel. The letter “D” in column 1 indicates that ONLY domestic transportation is permitted. The letter “I” in column 1 indicates that ONLY international transportation is permitted.
