What are the UN3480 P.I.965 Lithium Ion Batteries requirements under Section 1A?

• A. Shippers Declaration required with net weight KG, UN number, proper shipping name, and shipper/consignee name and address on the package.
• B. Only a label is required.
• C. No documentation required.
• D. Only the shipper's address is required.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that lithium-ion batteries shipped by air under PI965 require a Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods. This declaration must include the net weight (in kilograms), the UN number (UN 3480), the proper shipping name (Lithium ion battery), and the shipper and consignee names and addresses on the package. The declaration serves as the formal proof that the shipment complies with all relevant dangerous goods regulations and accompanies the air waybill, helping ensure safe handling, accurate classification, and traceability. Without this documentation, air carriers won’t accept the shipment, even if labeling or packaging is correct.
