Import Tips
• Confirm the battery is non-rechargeable; rechargeable lithium batteries fall under heading 8507
• Provide technical documentation on the bobbin-type construction and lithium thionyl chloride chemistry to support classification
• Be prepared to provide a UN 38.3 test report, as CBSA may require it for lithium batteries in industrial applications
