In the context of packaging inside an overpack, inner contents must be in compliance with appropriate packing instructions.

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Not specified
• D. Only if inner packaging is fragile

Answer: (B)

Inner contents must be in compliance with the appropriate packing instructions when placed inside an overpack. The overpack provides extra protection, but it doesn’t waive the rules for how the inner packaging must be prepared. Packing instructions specify the required container type, closures, cushioning, labeling, and performance tests for the material. If the inner contents aren’t packed according to those instructions, leaks or releases can occur, making the shipment unsafe and noncompliant. This requirement applies regardless of whether the inner packaging is fragile. So, yes, inner contents must meet the applicable packing instructions.
