What is the CAO limit per package excluding equipment under Section I?

• A. 25 kg
• B. 35 kg
• C. 45 kg
• D. 55 kg

Answer: (B)

CAO shipments set a weight limit of 35 kg per package for the dangerous goods portion. Equipment that falls under Section I is excluded from counting toward that 35 kg, meaning you can include that equipment without it reducing the CAO limit. This arrangement helps keep the high-risk, cargo‑aircraft‑only portion safely within handling and stowage capabilities, while still allowing additional Section I equipment to be included separately. In practice, ensure the CAO-labeled goods stay at or below 35 kg, and recognize that any Section I equipment can be added without affecting that limit.
