Import Tips
• Use rigid outer packaging with cushioning; lithium cells must pass UN38.3 vibration/shock/thermal tests before export
• Include manufacturer specs showing cell chemistry (LiNiCoAlO2) and capacity; generic descriptions trigger additional scrutiny
• For high-drain cells >20A, provide discharge curve data to verify legitimate battery classification vs disguised explosives
