I've caught whiff of this on other web forums and UPS website. I've found several references to a FedEx "Dear Customer" letters also advising the change, but could not find a link to in on FedEx's web site.
Some think shipping rates will increase, that Small Arms Ammunition change to a higher hazard classification. In my opinion, the impact to us is:
After January 1, 2014, we can no longer identify ammo with a "ORM-D" label or designation, and must start using the new designation "UN0012", Cartridges, Small Arms, 1.4S (ADG). (UN what? Of course I have to raise a stick about that one.
)
But seriously, I am bringing this up now because the OMR-D-Air will also expire in January 1, 2013, just a handful of months away (A concern only to those of us who can afford to have their ammo transported by air).
Bottom line, it is better we bring this out to the open today and get properly informed, and not have our ORM-D or ORM-D-Air labeled shipments returned, or something.
