3179<p>It looks like 30 kgs<br></p><p>5. Dangerous goods are assigned an LQ "maximum receptacle size" category (Column 7a) which gives the maximum inner receptacle size/ maximum quantity per inner packaging which may be used. For example a substance in LQ category 0 (the "0" means 0 grams) may not be transported under LQ exemptions at all. A substance in LQ category Y1 may be transported under LQ in receptacles up to 0.5 litres or 500 grams. And so on. The limitation per package (outer packaging) depends upon the LQ category of the goods. E.g. for LQ category Y1 the maximum net quantity of each outer packaging is 8 kg or 8 litres.</p>

2148yes this a real minefield!!<br>it would appear that if it's less than 50ml/g and is packaged to aviation standards 602<br>then as a courier you will be ok,<br>However the law is complex so better to check with a relevant authority<br>

7On behalf of limited capacity exceptions, all of the common requirements for packaging must be high-quality and best standard dangerous goods.
