The quick-and-dirty way is with a usertag in catalog.cfg:

UserTag my-shipping Order flat
UserTag my-shipping Routine <<EOR
sub {
	my $flat = shift;
	for my $item (@$Items) {
		next unless $item->{code} eq 'the_code';
		$flat += 8;
		last;
	}
	return $flat;
}
EOR

then in shipping.asc:

flat|Flat Shipping (except for sku=the_code)|1|0|999999|f [my-shipping flat="5.00"]

(Change | to TAB above)

You can get more cute with DB lookups for the item and any extra
charge, of course, with AutoModifier or other methods.
