The Product information is stored in your database tables:
products
products_description

The master_categories_id is in the table:
products

You can test the contents of the Shopping Cart to see how many Products are in specific Categories based on the master_categories_id to determine what to do on Handling Charge, instead of using the built in Handling Charge ...
