Lithium batteries which meet the requirements of UN38.3 (UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III,
subsection 38.3) could be transported by air and by sea. If the package meets the packing instruction
of IATA-DGR, could be transported as ordinary goods, otherwise should be transported according to
Class 9, Packing Group 1 hazardous goods.
According to UN classification: However this product’s shipping name is “lithium ion batteries”(or
“Lithium ion Batteries packed with equipment” or “Lithium ion Batteries contained in equipment”), it is
not recognized as “DANGEROUS GOODS” when its transport condition accords with “packing
instruction 965 section II of IATA-DGR”(or “Packing instruction 966 section II” or “Packing instruction
967 section II”) or “special provision 188 of IMO-IMDG Code”, it could be transported as ordinary
goods.
1. For lithium ion batteries, UN ID number is 3480. For lithium ion batteries contained in equipment
or lithium ion batteries packed with equipment, UN ID number is 3481.
2. The consignment should be fully described by proper shipping name and packed, marked and in
proper condition for carriage by air. The consignment is not classified as dangerous under the
current edition of the IATA 56th
Effective 01 January 2015, Dangerous goods regulation and all
applicable carrier and government regulations.
3. For transported by air, Lithium-ion Cells/Batteries shipped as “Not Restricted” Cargo: Must
comply with Part II of PI965-PI967 accordingly; For cells, the Watt-hour rating should not be more
than 20Wh; For batteries, the Watt-hour rating should not be more than 100Wh. Watt- hour rating
must be marked on the outside of the battery case (marked by manufacturer).
4. Each consignment must be accompanied with a document with a document with an indication
that: The package contains lithium ion cells or batteries; The package must be handled with care
and that a flammability hazard exists if the package is damaged; Special procedures must be
followed in the event the package is damaged, to include inspection and repacking if necessary;
The telephone number for additional information for BAK cells/batteries is 86-755-61886818.
Each package must be labeled with a lithium battery handling label, the label dimensions is
120mm×110mm, where the packages are of dimensions such that they can only bear smaller
labels, the label dimensions may be 74mm×105mm. The design specifications are the same as
below figures:
5. For very small cells and batteries, the packages should be satisfied:
Gross weight should be marked in each package.
For 2.7Wh or less cells and batteries, the limit quantity per package shall not exceed 2.5 kg. For
2.7Wh to 20Wh cells, the limit quantity per package shall not exceed 8pcs. For 2.7Wh to 100Wh
batteries, the limit quantity per package shall not exceed 2pcs.
For lithium ion batteries contained in equipment or lithium ion batteries packed with equipment, the
