Items such as oxygen bottles, perfumes, dry ice, aerosols, first aid kits and alcohol used for pax and crew comfort are classified as which DG category?

• A. Dangerous Goods Limited
• B. Dangerous Goods Forbidden
• C. Dangerous Goods Normal
• D. Dangerous Goods Exempt

Answer: (A)

Items like oxygen bottles, perfumes, dry ice, aerosols, first aid kits and alcohol for passenger and crew comfort are treated as dangerous goods in limited quantities. The transport rules split dangerous goods into four categories to manage risk: some items can be carried on aircraft only if the amount per package is small and strictly controlled. That’s what the limited quantities category covers—the dangerous nature of the item is accepted, but only in quantities that keep the overall risk manageable, with proper packaging, labeling, and documentation requirements. These items aren’t forbidden, because the quantity limit allows them to be carried under the regulation. They aren’t normal dangerous goods, which would apply to larger quantities requiring full compliance with all dangerous goods rules. They aren’t exempt, which applies to items that qualify for lighter treatment beyond the limited quantity provisions.
