Import Tips
• Verify battery chemistry certification to confirm air-zinc classification; mislabeling as alkaline can lead to reclassification
• Include MSDS and UN38.3 test reports in documentation for safe transport of primary cells
• Avoid common pitfalls like improper packaging that risks short-circuiting during shipping
