Something like this might get you started.  We use this (in 3.11) 
for hazmat charges on industrial gases.

This in products/shipping.asc:
default No charge for shipping in Cont. U.S.    0       0       0       0
included        No charge for shipping in Cont. U.S.    0       0       0       0
hazmat  Hazardous Materials     quantity        1       9999    15.00

This in the flypage where the item in question is ordered:
<INPUT NAME=mv_handling TYPE=HIDDEN VALUE=hazmat>

Something like this in the checkout sequence:
[if value mv_handling]
[handling_description]
[handling]
[/if]
