What is the Shipper's Declaration requirement for UN3481 P.I.967 under Section II?

• A. No Shipper's Declaration is required
• B. Shipper's Declaration required for all packages
• C. Shipper's Declaration required only for shipments over 50 kg
• D. Shipper's Declaration required if Batteries exceed 100 Wh

Answer: (A)

Section II of Packing Instruction 967 covers lithium ion batteries that are contained in equipment and meet its specific packaging requirements. In this scenario, no separate Shipper’s Declaration is required because the risk is addressed by the Section II packaging rules, and the necessary information is conveyed through the shipping papers and labeling rather than a standalone declaration. You still must follow all packaging, labeling, and quantity rules and ensure the batteries are properly contained in equipment, but a Shipper’s Declaration isn’t needed here. The other options would only apply if the shipment didn’t meet Section II criteria or fell under a different section with different documentation requirements.
