Is there a surcharge on UN3091 Lithium Metal Batteries P.I. 969 under section 1?

• A. Yes, a dangerous goods surcharge.
• B. No surcharge applies.
• C. Surcharge applies only for air shipments.
• D. Surcharge applies only for shipments over 10 kg.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that dangerous goods shipments require extra handling and fees. UN3091 Lithium Metal Batteries with Packaging Instruction 969 are classified as dangerous goods, and when a shipment falls into this category, carriers apply a dangerous goods surcharge to cover the additional compliance, handling, and safety measures. That’s why the correct choice is that a dangerous goods surcharge applies. It isn’t about only air shipments or only shipping over a certain weight; the surcharge is tied to shipping these dangerous goods under the specified section.
