How to import lithium batteries from China?

For cost-effective shipping, plan your lithium battery imports in advance and choose the best shipping method based on urgency and budget. By understanding the logistics requirements, packaging regulations, and cost factors, businesses can import lithium batteries from China efficiently while ensuring full compliance with international trade laws.

Are lithium batteries safe to ship from China?

With China being the world’s largest producer of lithium batteries, businesses worldwide rely on Chinese suppliers for cost-effective, high-quality battery solutions. However, importing and shipping lithium batteries from China comes with strict international regulations due to their classification as hazardous materials.

Why do we need a circular economy solution for end-of-life lithium-ion batteries?

Affordable and sustainable lithium-ion batteries are key to the development of electric vehicles markets and to the green energy transition. Circular economy solutions for end-of-life batteries can help address primary inputs disruptions, while reducing environmental costs associated with the mining of these inputs or with battery production.

Can a lithium battery be shipped by sea freight?

Only lithium batteries that comply with IATA (International Air Transport Association) standards can be transported. Sea Freight is ideal for bulk shipments of EV batteries, industrial battery packs, and large orders. However, shipping times are longer, and proper dangerous goods documentation is required.
