Import Tips
• Verify battery chemistry (lead-acid vs lithium) via lab testing or manufacturer specs to confirm 8507.80 classification; lithium batteries fall under 8507.60
• Include Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and UN38.3 test reports for hazardous material compliance during shipping
• Label batteries with proper hazmat markings and ensure packaging prevents short-circuiting to avoid customs delays
