Import Tips
• Verify battery volume does not exceed 300 cm³ and confirm silver oxide chemistry via material safety data sheets
• Include UN38.3 test reports for lithium-free primary cells; label with proper shipping names per DOT/IATA regulations
• Avoid misclassification as rechargeable cells (8507.60) which have different duty rates and testing requirements
