What does the transport safety square look like for a truck shifting anti-matter?

In the US it would just be for the compressed refrigeration gasses (if any), likely 2-1963. If you felt cheeky you might have a Class 7 plaquard (radiation) too, but you'd probably get in trouble for incorrectly labeling your cargo since 100 anti-protons isn't exactly a radiological threat.
