Narrative:
The repair was under normal conditions and checked out fine (#1 engine driven fuel pump). However, I overlooked the fact that the residual fuel inside the off unit is considered hazmat and shipped it out in the morning on a flight to ZZZ. Company has informed me of proper hazmat procedures.
