Dangerous Goods Requirements for Air Importing a Single Small-Capacity Lithium-ion Battery
No translation in your language yet — showing the English version
I have an inquiry regarding battery importation. The shipping origin is overseas, and I am planning to import a single battery with a capacity of 3.7V / 3,600mAh. Could you please confirm if this can be imported via air freight and whether I need to obtain any dangerous goods-related agreements or documentation?

- 0✓It is somewhat difficult to provide an accurate answer due to the lack of information provided. Specific information is required because the application of dangerous goods transportation regulations varies depending on the type of battery (e.g., lithium-ion battery, lithium metal battery, etc.), whether the battery is being shipped alone in packaging or imported together with or installed in a device (or equipment), and the net quantity of a single battery. However, based on the information provided, if the battery is a lithium-ion battery with a power consumption of 13.32Wh (3.7V / 3,600mAh) and is being imported packed individually in packaging, if the net quantity of batteries per package does not exceed 10kg, it will be classified as UN3480 (PI965, Section IB). In this case, you must proceed with the import by following dangerous goods regulations (IATA DGR) regarding packaging, marking and labeling, and preparing dangerous goods documentation. Additionally, the State of Charge (SoC) must not exceed 30%, air transport is only possible via cargo aircraft, and a Test Summary is required to verify the transport safety of the battery.Machine translated
