Packaging Regulations for International Express Shipping of Batteries and Electronics
Given the flammable and hazardous nature of batteries—especially lithium batteries—proper packaging is critical to ensuring safety throughout the shipping process.
Packaging Lithium Batteries
-
Batteries must be packed individually, avoiding contact with metal objects or other items.
-
Use insulated packaging or cushioning materials to protect batteries from impacts during transit.
-
Lithium batteries require IATA-compliant warning labels, and in some cases, customers may need to provide documentation verifying compliance with safety standards.
Packaging Electronic Components
-
Components like circuit boards, memory cards, and chips should be packed in shockproof cardboard boxes to shield them from external forces.
-
Sensitive electronics must be placed in anti-static packaging to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
Required Documentation
When shipping goods with batteries, customers must prepare documents proving adherence to safety regulations, such as a Dangerous Goods Declaration (if applicable).
Depending on the shipment type and destination, additional paperwork may include a packing list, hazardous materials declaration, or export permit.
PCS strictly follows all regulations for transporting dangerous goods, particularly lithium batteries and electronic components. We also offer a transparent insurance policy to safeguard the interests of individual and business customers throughout the journey.
