Import Tips

• Ensure batteries are labeled with proper UN3486 hazardous material markings and include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for DOT compliance

• Verify cathode material composition documentation to confirm manganese dioxide classification; test reports may be required by CBP

• Avoid shipping via air freight without IATA packaging; common pitfall is insufficient insulation leading to short-circuit rejections
