Import Tips
• Verify battery chemistry and ensure labeling complies with UN 38.3 transportation regulations for lithium-free alkaline cells
• Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) and confirm non-rechargeable status to avoid misclassification as secondary batteries
• Check for mercury content restrictions under EPA rules; most modern alkaline batteries are mercury-free
