Look in the docs for named subroutines in shipping.asc, in the sections
on shipping.  It's not even obvious to me that you can do this directly
with only the shipping table, because I'd bet that only gets basket 
totals. (no I did not check)

Perhaps a usertag that went into each page to iterate the basket, selected
the maximum item, and set a value.  Then THAT value was used in your 
subroutine in shipping.
