Packaging requirements for pure battery goods in international logistics

Published by June 09,2022

 

Since pure batteries are sensitive commodities in international logistics, and there have been frequent aircraft fire accidents caused by pure batteries in recent years, pure batteries need to be transported abroad through special channels and require corresponding certification materials to be transported. International shipments have very strict shipping requirements for various battery products.

 

What information do I need to provide when shipping pure battery goods, and the packaging requirements for pure battery goods in major international logistics channels?

 

The transportation of pure batteries generally requires MSDS/SDS certification, and export products need to obtain certification and transportation appraisal certificates from other countries. For example, exporting to Vietnam may require MIC certification or direct CB customs clearance.

 

In Europe, countries need different certifications. CE certification is basically universal. If it is a lithium battery, UN38.3 certification is also required.

 

For pure battery transportation, it is generally required to provide MSDS/SDS certification, cargo transportation appraisal certificate, and dangerous package degree certificate. North America also provides UL certification. If it is a lithium battery, UN38.3 certification is also required.
