In general HazMat exemptions happen where "circumstances" are such
that they reduce the risk of harm.

In this particular case, those "circumstances" would likely be
"tested, certified & packed at the factory in specific emballage
approved as part of the exemption."

Ie: HP had an exemption to ship to customers, but not the other way.
