[[File:Acihazardousgoods1.png|400px|thumb|right|Viewing the '''ACI Hazardous Goods Search''' page]]The '''ACI Hazardous Goods Search Page''' is a page in BorderConnect [https://www.borderconnect.com/aci-e-manifest/index.htm ACI eManifest software] that allows the user access to the Hazardous Goods Profiles used by the [[Add/Edit_Commodity_for_ACI_Shipment_Page_(ACI_eManifest)|Add/Edit Commodity for ACI Shipment Page]].

;New Hazardous Good Button
<div class="bc-article-hero">
:Used to add a new Hazardous Goods Profile. Although normally hazardous goods information is simply entered from the [[Add/Edit_Commodity_for_ACI_Shipment_Page_(ACI_eManifest)|Add/Edit Commodity for ACI Shipment Page]] as the user is entering an ACI Shipment, which is generally more efficient. Clicking on this button will bring the user to a separate page (shown below) where the UN Code, Contact Phone Number, Contact Name and Handling Instructions can be entered. Once entered clicking 'Save' will add the Hazardous Goods Profile and return the user to the ACI Hazardous Goods Search Page.</onlyinclude>
