Apart from the specifications issued by governing authorities and the carrier, you must follow general labelling guidelines for all battery packages. The outer box must have the UN number, proper shipping name (e.g. UN
2023 LITHIUM BATTERY SHIPPING GUIDE . JANUARY 1, 2023 . The following guide provides a summary of marking, labeling and paperwork requirements for shipping lithium batteries via domestic US ground (49 CFR 171-180 in effect 1-Jan-2023), international air (2023 IATA DGR, 64th Edition) and international vessel (IMDG, 40-20).
Apart from the specifications issued by governing authorities and the carrier, you must follow general labelling guidelines for all battery packages. The outer box must have the UN number, proper shipping name (e.g. UN 3480, Lithium-ion batteries), and hazard labels. Use laminated labels to prevent damage from condensation.
If you''re shipping multiple wet batteries, enclose each in its own leak-proof container (e.g., a sealed plastic bag or container) with absorbent material, such as vermiculite or acid-absorbing pads. Separate them within the
Goods must be labelled as "Lithium Ion Battery" or "Lithium Metal Battery" and include appropriate shipping marks and hazard labels. Lithium batteries must have the correct documentation – including a Dangerous goods
Container shipping giant MSC recently reminded its customers that it won''t ship lithium batteries in an ocean container if they''ve been used or damaged. Meanwhile, CMA CGM has banned shipment of electric and hybrid vehicles older than seven years.
Navigating the complex world of lithium battery shipping can be challenging. This comprehensive guide breaks down the essentials for U.S. importers, covering regulations, packaging requirements, and how to ensure safe, compliant ocean transport.
If you''re shipping multiple wet batteries, enclose each in its own leak-proof container (e.g., a sealed plastic bag or container) with absorbent material, such as vermiculite or acid-absorbing pads. Separate them within the box using non-conductive dividers (e.g., sturdy cardboard or foam) to prevent them from touching and potentially short
IATA provides the most comprehensive guide to international air transport regulations for shipping lithium batteries by air in their Lithium Battery Shipping Regulations manual. Navigating the rules surrounding how to ship
The Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers Guidelines seek to prevent the increasing risks that the transport of lithium-ion batteries by sea creates, providing suggestions for identifying such risks and thereby helping to ensure a safer supply chain in the future.
Goods must be labelled as "Lithium Ion Battery" or "Lithium Metal Battery" and include appropriate shipping marks and hazard labels. Lithium batteries must have the correct documentation – including a Dangerous goods declaration, air waybill, and packing list.
Container Requirements: Containers used for shipping lithium-ion batteries by sea must meet specific IMDG Code regulations. These regulations may include requirements for proper ventilation, fire-resistant
IATA provides the most comprehensive guide to international air transport regulations for shipping lithium batteries by air in their Lithium Battery Shipping Regulations manual. Navigating the rules surrounding how to ship lithium batteries can be complicated, but IATA''s manuals simplify the complex task in easy step-by-step processes.

If the vehicle can be handled in a non-upright position, it must be secured in strong, rigid outer packaging. For many carriers, certain lithium batteries are totally off limits. Container shipping giant MSC recently reminded its customers that it won’t ship lithium batteries in an ocean container if they’ve been used or damaged.

Container Requirements: Containers used for shipping lithium-ion batteries by sea must meet specific IMDG Code regulations. These regulations may include requirements for proper ventilation, fire-resistant lining, and segregation from incompatible cargo to minimize risks during transport.
Unlike when shipping smaller lithium-ion batteries, new electric vehicles are moved overseas in huge Ro-Ro vessels, with their batteries secured and not live during the shipping process. Best Practices: Shipping Lithium Batteries in Container Ship If a lithium battery has been used or damaged, then it should not be shipped.
Industry bodies have united to produce "Guidelines for safe transport of Lithium-ion batteries in containers".
Only a maximum of four can be sent, with two per container, and each battery must have a rating of below 100 watts per hour. It is essential to note that some countries have their own regulations and restrictions for shipping lithium batteries, so it is crucial to check with the destination country’s customs authorities before shipping.
