Import Tips
• Verify battery chemistry via MSDS to confirm classification as 'other' primary cells excluding common types like alkaline or lithium-ion
• Include UN38.3 test reports and proper packaging declarations for lithium content to comply with DOT/IATA hazardous materials regulations
• Avoid misclassification as rechargeable by ensuring no recharge capability; check for spent battery exclusions in notes
