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.
Here are key packaging requirements: Non-Metallic Inner Packaging: Batteries should be placed in non-metallic inner packaging that fully encloses each cell or battery. This packaging also serves to separate them from electrically conductive materials, such as metal.
In the United States, shippers must follow the Department of Transportation's (DOT) regulations for lithium-ion batteries. This includes proper packaging, labeling and the specific quantity and type that can be transported on the road. The trucking company must also follow the DOT regulations to put the placards on the outside containers.
This type of battery must be firmly fixed in the internal structure of the cargo transportation device when shipping from China. There is no need to affix a transportation mark or label on the surface of the battery, but it needs to be affixed with the UN number and display signs on both sides.
Cells and batteries with a SoC greater than 30% may only be shipped with the approval of the State of Origin and the State of the Operator, under the written conditions established by those authorities (refer to Special Provision A331).
