Import Tips

• Verify the battery meets statistical note 2 criteria (≥5 kWh capacity, fully encased) with manufacturer specs and test reports for CBP classification

• Include UN38.3 transportation certificates and MSDS for lithium-ion batteries to comply with DOT hazardous materials regulations

• Avoid misclassification as individual cells by proving complete housing integration; common pitfall is importing unassembled components
