Which statement differentiates the per-package limits between 1A and 1B packaging?

• A. 1A is 35 kg per package; 1B CAO limit is 10 kg
• B. 1A is 10 kg per package; 1B CAO limit is 35 kg
• C. Both 1A and 1B have the same 35 kg limit
• D. Both 1A and 1B have the same 10 kg limit

Answer: (A)

Per-package weight limits depend on the packaging class because each class is designed and tested for different levels of safety during transport. For 1A packaging, the design and testing allow a heavier load, so you can ship up to 35 kg in a single package. For 1B packaging with the CAO designation (Cargo Aircraft Only), the limit is much lower—10 kg per package—reflecting its smaller load capacity and stricter handling conditions on cargo aircraft. This difference means you must choose the appropriate packaging type based on how much battery material you need to ship in one package.
