Import Tips

Obtain UN38.3 transportation safety certification and include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all lithium-ion shipments to comply with DOT/IATA regulations

Declare exact lithium content (Wh rating) on commercial invoice; misdeclaration leads to CBP holds and penalties

Verify cell voltage ≤30V and capacity; cells exceeding these may require different classification or special handling
