Which of the following would be considered a DG Limited item?

• A. Perfumes
• B. Explosives
• C. Poisons
• D. Radioactive material

Answer: (A)

Dangerous goods in limited quantities are dangerous items that can be shipped under simplified rules because the amount in each package is small, reducing risk. Perfumes fit this idea well: they are consumer products that contain flammable liquids, but the quantity per bottle is typically limited, so they can be shipped under DG Limited provisions as long as the stated limits are met and proper labeling is used. The other options—explosives, poisons, and radioactive material—are high-hazard categories that require full, specialized handling and packaging under dangerous goods regulations, so they do not qualify as DG Limited.
