Declaration as small quantity
If you want to declare as UN 3077 or UN 3082 in the small quantity range (individual or inner container <= 5 L / 5 kg), this remains possible. However, the EHS labeling is then always required in addition to the class 9 label, where DGR H.7.1.5.3.2 stipulates: Where necessitated by the size of the shipping unit, dimensions/line thicknesses can be reduced, provided that the labeling remains clearly visible.
Environmentally Hazardous Substances - Exemption
IATA-DGR contains a new special provision A197 requiring the exemption of materials UN 3077 and UN 3082.
The materials are exempt when the net quantity per individual package does not exceed 5 kg (solids) or 5 L (liquids), and where the packaging corresponds to the general requirements. In practice this means:

The wording of A197
These materials are subject to no other provisions of these regulations, provided that they are transported in individual packages or combined packages with a net quantity per individual package or inner package not exceeding 5 L for liquids and a net weight not exceeding 5 kg for solids, and on condition that the packaging corresponds to the general requirements for...
- 5.0.2.4.1 (quality of the packaging material),
- 5.0.2.6.1.1 (compatibility of the packaging material),
- 5.0.2.8 (empty space for liquids).
A similar statement can also be found in the ADR regulations (road transport) under SV375, in RID (rail), in ADN (inland waterways), and in the IMDG Code (maritime freight) under SP969.
