Narrative:
I shipped multiple tools comat on international airway bill # XXX-ZZZ xxxxxxxx. Contained in this batch of tooling was a tire gauge - pc 91XXXXX. This item is hazmat because it has a battery in the unit. I did not realize this tool was hazmat because the planners gave me the item to ship with a [system] screenshot (which does not show if the item is hazmat or not); therefore I packed the tool and signed the airway bill declaring that no hazmat was contained in the shipment; when if fact there was. I discovered this issue this morning when I reported to work and had an email for the ZZZ1 storekeeper letting me know that 1 of the items in the shipment was hazmat.believe the [screenshot] should have a hazmat indicator to show if a tool is hazmat or not. Other [systems]; such as the [other program] already show this as well as multiple etips screens.
