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.
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
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.
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.
The Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers Guidelines that have just been published seek to prevent the increasing risks that the transport of lithium-ion batteries by sea creates, providing suggestions for identifying such risks and thereby
We design our lithium battery containers to give you confidence that your products will ship and arrive intact, no matter the condition of the battery. We create innovative solutions that help make those tough decisions easier.
It''s necessary to adhere to several key safety practices for safely shipping batteries. When preparing batteries for shipping, examine the Watt-hours rating, which indicates the battery energy capacity. Higher Watt-hour batteries
The Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers Guidelines that have just been published 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. Together with the International Group and other
It''s necessary to adhere to several key safety practices for safely shipping batteries. When preparing batteries for shipping, examine the Watt-hours rating, which indicates the battery energy capacity. Higher Watt-hour batteries require greater precautions. Check the State of Charge (SOC), which is the percentage of available power.
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.
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).
Containerized Lithium Battery Shipments In this document, find information about regulations guiding the shipment of lithium batteries and associated recommendations. Risk Analysis: The use of lithium batteries as a power source for a variety of products has dramatically increased. As a

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
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.
Whether shipments are international or domestic, it’s best to check with the air carrier for any additional requirements. When it comes to international shipping of lithium-ion batteries, ocean freight is the primary mode of transportation.
A table in the Lithium Battery Shipping Regulations manual gives the precise weight of batteries per package on both cargo and passenger aircraft. All marks and labels must be clearly visible on the exterior of all packages and overpacks. Proper marking and labeling is required when shipping lithium batteries by air.
The Lithium-ion Batteries in Containers Guidelines that have just been published 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.
In addition, lithium-ion cells and batteries shipped by themselves must be shipped at a state of charge not exceeding 30% of their rated capacity. Lithium batteries are dangerous goods, and all of the regulatory requirements must be complied with, as set out in the Lithium Battery Shipping Regulations.
For standalone lithium-ion batteries, bulk shipment via cargo aircraft is possible, but they must be packed in an approved manner to prevent short circuits. This includes individually packaging each battery and placing them in a secondary outer packaging designed to prevent short circuits.
