Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide detailed technical specs confirming compatibility only with listed EV subheadings to prevent general battery classification

• Declare exact cell chemistry (NMC or LFP) and energy density on commercial invoice for proper valuation

• Include thermal runaway test reports as lithium batteries pose fire risk during ocean transport
