Yes, but only if you’re shipping motors and reloads that fall under DOT SP-7887. Ones that are inherently classified as 4.1 do not require being party to the permit. Plus, the permit may not apply to individuals who are not “in commerce”.The thing that everybody here is overlooking is that to use this limited quantity shipment you must be party status to special permit 7887. You also must have all of the box closure instructions and certification data for the boxes you're using to do hazmat shipping. Most individuals don't have that. Offering a box for shipping without having proper closure. Instructions is the same as offering it for shipping without the proper hazardous materials labels and DOT does audit for that.
Regardless, an individual has to follow the packaging and labeling requirements. Self training in hazmat is allowed.
