What are the per-package limits for UN3481 P.I.966 under section II?

• A. PAX = 5kg and CAO = 5kg
• B. PAX = 10kg and CAO = 10kg
• C. PAX = 2kg and CAO = 2kg
• D. PAX = 3kg and CAO = 7kg

Answer: (A)

Understanding per-package limits under section II of Packaging Instruction 966 for UN 3481 is about how heavy a single package may be when lithium ion batteries are contained in or with equipment. In this section, the allowed weight per package is 5 kg, and this limit applies whether the shipment goes on a passenger aircraft or on a cargo aircraft (PAX or CAO). This means each package cannot exceed 5 kilograms of lithium ion batteries contained in or with equipment. The same limit for both transport modes keeps shipments manageable and safe while accommodating practical quantities. Other weight figures would go beyond what section II allows or apply to different sections with other requirements.
