Special Rules Apply

According to TSA guidelines, formaldehyde solutions of less than 10% are not restricted as hazardous materials. Leak-proof packaging with absorbent material is still strongly encouraged.  For formaldehyde solutions containing more than 10% formaldehyde, see separate entry for "Biological specimens in preservative solutions." Tip: Full-strength "Formalin" is typically 35%-40% formaldehyde by volume. So a solution that is less than 25% Formalin would be less than 10% formaldehyde and not restricted.
