International Battery Shipping Services from China – HUAQI

As global demand for batteries—particularly lithium-ion and lithium-metal types—continues to grow, the need for specialized shipping services is essential. Batteries are classified as dangerous goods due to the risks associated with overheating, leaks, and fire, making international battery shipping a highly regulated and complex process. Whether for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, or industrial applications, shipping batteries from China to international destinations requires careful planning, adherence to safety standards, and efficient logistics management.

Here’s everything you need to know about international battery shipping services from China and how HUAQI can provide tailored solutions to meet your shipping needs.

1. Regulations for Shipping Batteries Internationally

Key Regulations and Compliance

Shipping batteries internationally requires compliance with stringent regulations, particularly for lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries. These batteries are classified as dangerous goods (UN3480 for lithium-ion and UN3090 for lithium-metal) by international standards. Key regulatory bodies governing battery shipping include:

• IATA (International Air Transport Association): Governs air transport of dangerous goods, including packaging, labeling, and documentation requirements.
• IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) Code: Regulates the transport of batteries by sea, ensuring proper handling, storage, and packaging to minimize risks.
• ADR (European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road): Governs road transport regulations in Europe.
• UN 38.3 Certification: Lithium batteries must pass rigorous testing (UN 38.3) to prove their safety for transport, including tests for thermal, mechanical, and electrical stability.

Tip: Ensure that all batteries comply with international regulations and have passed UN 38.3 testing before shipping.
