Dear Valued Customer,

With the significant increase in international trade of lithium battery powered electric vehicles (BEV/
HEV/ PHEV/ FCEV), we have revised our existing vehicle transportation policy. The goal of this policy
revision is to improve safety and simplify dangerous goods classification for our customers.
Vehicle DG Classifications:
We would like to emphasise it is mandatory for all vehicle shippers to adhere to the following
guidelines when booking with PFL:

• Flammable liquid powered vehicles (both new and used) shall be declared as dangerous
  goods under UN3166/class 9, unless they meet the requirements outlined in the IMDG Code
  Special Provision 961 (noted below)
• Vehicles powered by Lithium batteries (BEV) shall be declared as dangerous goods under
  UN3171/class 9. No special provisions or exemptions are allowed (NEW vehicles only)
• Hybrid vehicles with Lithium batteries (PHEV/ HEV/ FCEV) shall be declared as dangerous
  goods under UN3166/ class 9. No special provisions or exemptions are allowed (NEW
  vehicles only)

Please note: while we ship used petrol and diesel powered vehicles we only accept NEW cars if they
contain lithium batteries (BEV/ PHEV/ HEV/ FCEV).

Special Provision 961:
Meeting one of the following two conditions may cancel the need for a dangerous goods
declaration. If in doubt, please contact your PFL representative.

1. Vehicles powered by a flammable liquid fuel with a flashpoint of 38°C or above, there are no
   leaks in any portion of the fuel system, the fuel tank(s) contains 450 L of fuel or less and
   installed batteries are protected from short-circuit.
2. Vehicles powered by a flammable liquid fuel with a flashpoint less than 38°C, the fuel tank(s) are
   empty and installed batteries are protected from short circuit. Vehicles are considered to be
   empty of flammable liquid fuel when the fuel tank has been drained and the vehicles cannot be
   operated due to a lack of fuel. Engine components such as fuel lines, fuel filters and injectors do
   not need to be cleaned, drained, or purged to be considered empty. The fuel tank does not
   need to be cleaned or purged.

If a shipper declares under SP961 they are to supply a signed PFL Letter of Indemnity (LOI)
confirming they have adhered to the condition applicable for their vehicle.

If a vehicle is travelling on a 3rd party vessels under PFL control, the shipper may be required to sign
and additional LOI for the 3rd party carrier.

Vehicles are defined under the IMDG Code as:
Self-propelled apparatus designed to carry one or more persons or goods. Examples of such vehicles
are cars, motorcycles, scooters, three- and four-wheeled vehicles or motorcycles, trucks,
locomotives, bicycles (pedal cycles with a motor) and other vehicles of this type (e.g. self-balancing
vehicles or vehicles not equipped with at least one seating position), wheelchairs, lawn tractors, self-propelled farming and construction equipment, boats and aircraft.

We thank you for your continued support, should you have any further questions or queries please
contact your Quay or PFL representative.

Sincerely,
PFL
