Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify battery chemistry certification as NiMH via MSDS; misclassification as lithium-ion leads to audits
• Include UN38.3 transport certification for air/sea shipping; label as rechargeable NiMH
• Avoid common pitfall of importing in consumer packs without separating battery classification from packaging
