Import Tips

Obtain UN38.3 transportation safety certification as lithium batteries are hazardous materials requiring IATA/IMDG compliance

Label batteries with chemistry type (e.g

'Lithium Manganese Dioxide'), voltage, and capacity per DOT regulations to prevent customs holds

Avoid classifying as rechargeable (8507.60); test samples if origin claims primary cell status to dodge reclassification penalties
