Import Tips
• Verify material composition (e.g
• polyethylene, AGM) matches lead-acid battery specifications to avoid reclassification
• Include technical datasheets proving compatibility with lead-acid cells; declare as parts, not complete batteries
• Check for hazardous material declarations due to potential chemical residues from manufacturing
