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

• A. 2 kg
• B. 5 kg
• C. 10 kg
• D. 20 kg

Answer: (B)

The limit being tested is the maximum amount of battery material you can put in one package under Section I, excluding any equipment. This rule sets a practical safety threshold for air transport: up to five kilograms of batteries per package can be shipped without including equipment, keeping handling, loading, and regulatory requirements manageable and aligned with safety standards. Staying at or below this 5 kg limit helps ensure the package remains within the category that allows simpler packaging and labeling while reducing the risk associated with larger battery shipments. Exceeding this limit would move the shipment into a different category with stricter packaging, documentation, and handling rules. The other weights don’t fit this Section I limit, since 2 kg is below the allowed maximum and 10 kg and 20 kg exceed it, requiring different compliance steps.
