For adhesives, printing inks, printing 

ink-related materials, paints, paint-related 
materials, and resin solutions which are 
assigned to UN3082, and do not meet the 
definition of another hazard class, metal or 
plastic packaging for substances of pack-

individual packaging placed 

or stacked and secured by strapping, 
shrink or stretch-wrapping or other suit-
able means to a pallet). For vessel trans-
port, the palletized loads, pallet boxes or 
unit load devices must be firmly packed 
and secured in closed cargo transport 
units; or 

b. Except for transportation by aircraft, as 

an inner packaging of a combination 
packaging with a maximum net mass of 
40 kg (88 pounds). For transportation by 
aircraft, as an inner packaging of a com-
bination packaging with a maximum 
gross mass of 30 kg when packaged as a 
limited quantity in accordance with 
§ 173.27(f).

ment and lithium batteries packed with 
equipment, the following requirements 
apply: 
a. The shipper must ensure that all appli-

cable requirements of § 173.185 of this sub-

columns (9A) and (9B) for passenger air-
craft or cargo aircraft, as applicable; 

b. Except as provided in § 173.185(c)(3) of 

this subchapter, the package must be 
marked ‘‘UN 3091 Lithium metal bat-
teries packed with equipment’’, or ‘‘UN 

3481 Lithium ion batteries packed with 
equipment,’’ as appropriate. If a package 
contains both lithium metal batteries 
and lithium ion batteries packed with 
and contained in equipment, the package 
must be marked as required for both bat-
tery types. However, button cell bat-
teries installed in equipment (including 
circuit boards) need not be considered; 
and 

c. The shipping paper must indicate ‘‘UN 

3091 Lithium metal batteries packed with 
equipment’’ or ‘‘UN 3481 Lithium ion bat-
teries packed with equipment,’’ as appro-
priate. If a package contains both lith-
ium metal batteries and lithium ion bat-
teries packed with and contained in 
equipment, then the shipping paper must 
indicate both ‘‘UN 3091 Lithium metal 
batteries packed with equipment’’ and 
‘‘UN 3481 Lithium ion batteries packed 
with equipment.’’ 

182

Equipment containing only lithium bat-

teries must be classified as either UN 3091 
or UN 3481. 

198

Nitrocellulose solutions containing not 

more than 20% nitrocellulose may be

propriate amount of water to the indi-
vidual cells.
