Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify battery pack voltage exceeds 48V and capacity documentation proves primary propulsion role for specific EV models

• Include OEM specifications and vehicle compatibility certificates to avoid reclassification as general automotive batteries

• Ensure MSDS and UN38.3 transport certifications are complete to prevent shipping delays
