• Phantom risks and real risks compete not only
  for our resources, but also for our attention.
  Its a shame when a mother is worried about toxic

  unvaccinated and without bicycle helmets.(John

Consumer Commodity (for Air)
The training requirements for the air mode are
much more restrictive
Consumer Commodity is a good approach to simplify
operations

• Only one documentation phrase

This is easy to train and simple to fulfill!
It reduces the number of undeclared shipments
