What defines a Limited Quantity (LQ) shipment?

• A. A DG shipment that meets defined quantity and packaging limits enabling simplified packaging and labeling under LQ rules.
• B. A DG shipment that uses standard packaging and labeling for all DG.
• C. A shipment that is exempt from all DG labeling requirements.
• D. A shipment that requires a Shipper's Declaration.

Answer: (A)

Limited Quantity shipments are defined by meeting specific quantity and packaging limits that allow the use of simplified packaging and labeling under LQ rules. If the amount in each inner and outer package, and the total shipment, stays within these limits, you can apply streamlined requirements instead of the full Dangerous Goods standards. That's why this option is correct: it directly expresses that LQ is about qualifying quantities that enable simplifications in packaging and labeling. The other statements describe standard packaging for all DG, or exemptions from labeling, or the need for a Shipper's Declaration, which do not describe LQ.
