Import Tips
• Use child-resistant packaging for consumer button cells per CPSC guidelines to avoid import detention
• Include 'Alkaline Manganese' labeling and avoid lithium claims to prevent erroneous hazardous goods handling
• For mixed lots, segregate by chemistry; mislabeling leads to full shipment rejection under hazmat rules
