Import Tips
• Verify battery chemistry via manufacturer specs to confirm air-zinc (zinc-air) classification; test for oxygen cathode dependency
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and UN38.3 transport certification for lithium-free primary cells to clear customs smoothly
• Label clearly as 'primary/non-rechargeable' to prevent confusion with secondary batteries under 8507
