A transportation corridor in France is a major shipping route for trucks. It also includes the railways and any shipping channels by water.
When shipping hazardous materials such as these, the box must be labeled as to what it contains, and ususally a code to potential hazards, and accompanied by a MSDS sheet (Material Safety Data Sheet, which tells hazards of the material, cleanup procedures, and other information). Most carriers require that the shipper be licensed (with the carrier) to ship that particular hazardous material. Some carriers may have an exemption for the license requirement if shipping small quantities. Some limitations are imposed by the Department of Transportation, but the carrier can have more restrictive requirements. Check with the carrier that you are thinking about using (for example fedex.com or ups.com or usps.com) and do a search for hazardous material, or maybe even the specific item that you are interested in.
