This means their transport must comply with international regulations such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/logisber.com\/en\/blog\/new-adr-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ADR<\/a> (road), IMDG (sea), and IATA-DGR (air)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Handling them requires specific measures to prevent thermal runaway or fires. Therefore, before importing or exporting this type of cargo, it is essential to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Correctly identify the battery type.<\/li>\n<li>Have the Safety <strong>Data Sheet (SDS\/MSDS)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure approved packaging and clearly visible labels.<\/li>\n<li>Verify compliance with the <strong>UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (Section 38.3)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An error in any of these steps can lead to customs delays or even the detention of the goods.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Documentation and customs requirements: precision with no margin for error<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The import process for lithium batteries and electrical components involves thorough technical and customs controls. Key documents include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Correct tariff classification (HTS\/HS)<\/strong>, which determines applicable duties and taxes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Certificates of conformity and electrical safety<\/strong> (CE, UL, IEC, etc.).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Environmental permits<\/strong> when transporting used or recycled batteries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fast customs clearance depends on <strong>precise customs planning<\/strong>.
