ICC Compliance Center

What ICC Compliance Center does

ICC Compliance Center Inc is a US-headquartered (Houston) private company that supplies regulatory compliance products, services, and training to companies that handle, store, or transport hazardous materials. Founded circa 1987-1989 and operating for over 35 years, the firm serves customers across North America through dedicated US and Canadian e-commerce storefronts, phone-based inside sales, and a regulatory expert helpline.

The company's core product portfolio is anchored in three categories: Labels (Hazard Class, Lithium Battery, GHS/OSHA/WHMIS, Shipping & Handling, Custom), Placards (DOT Worded, TDG/IMDG Non-Worded, UN Numbered & Blank), and UN-approved Packaging (proprietary 4GV UN Variation boxes, 4G UN Combination boxes, and 4GV Securepacc complete shipping kits). These are produced in-house using flexography, screen printing, and thermal transfer technologies on durable, weather-resistant substrates, and are complemented by a long tail of ancillary products including absorbents, pipe markers, signs, tags, forms, posters, publications, printers, and trucking supplies. All products are certified to DOT 49 CFR, TDG, IATA, ICAO, IMDG, OSHA, WHMIS, and GHS standards.

ICC monetizes through three revenue streams: transactional one-time product sales (priced per unit or roll), professional services (custom labeling, custom package testing and design, plant audits, repacking, SDS authoring, TDG amendment service, and the DGOffice documentation tool), and training courses (classroom, online, on-site, and custom). The sales-led go-to-market targets a horizontal customer base of hazmat shippers across ground, air, and sea transport modes, ranging from SMB transactional buyers to enterprise accounts requiring custom quotations. In June 2021, ICC acquired iHazmat Regulatory Ltd. (Burnaby, BC) to expand its training and SDS authoring capabilities, and continues to operate it as a wholly-owned subsidiary with retained branding.
