How do you work that out as the only statement appears to be offered "for transportation by air" no mention of what type of carrier.
In those examples of proposed penalties, the goods were incorrectly declared and packaged.
If the goods were correctly declared, and labeled and packaged accordingly, it would then be the carrier's responsibility to choose the correct way of shipping (e.g., cargo only aircraft, etc.).
In other words, the proposer's responsibility ends with the correct declaration and packaging. The carrier then has to decide how the good are to be carried.
