Is there a dangerous goods surcharge for UN3481 P.I.967 Lithium Ion Batteries under Section II?

• A. No dangerous goods surcharge
• B. A surcharge applies for all shipments
• C. A surcharge applies only to shipments over 20 kg
• D. A surcharge applies only to shipments exceeding 100 Wh

Answer: (A)

Section II is a limited-quantity exception. When UN 3481 lithium ion batteries are contained in or packed with equipment and you ship them under the Section II rules, they’re treated as a lower-risk DG shipment. That eligibility means the dangerous goods surcharge isn’t applied, as long as the packaging, labeling, and quantity limits are met. The surcharge would apply only if those Section II conditions aren’t satisfied, or if the shipment falls outside the allowed limits.
