WHAT IS BATTERY & ELECTRONICS？
BATTERY & ELECTRONICS refer to various devices manufactured using electronic technology, capable of performing functions such as communication, computation, and data processing. In modern society, electronic products have become an indispensable part of people’s lives. From smartphones and televisions to computers and household appliances, our world is filled with a wide variety of electronic products.
To ensure devices can operate for hours or even days at a time, the capacity of lithium batteries has been increasing, allowing for very high energy content. If not packaged properly or if damaged during transport, lithium batteries can short-circuit, leading to overheating and fires. The risk is even higher with low-quality or counterfeit batteries that have not undergone rigorous testing.

WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OFBATTERY & ELECTRONICS？
Transporting BATTERY & ELECTRONICS, particularly lithium batteries, necessitates specific documentation to ensure safety and regulatory compliance. Essential documents include:
1) Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): Provides comprehensive information regarding the chemical composition, handling procedures, and safety precautions for the batteries.
2) UN Test Summary: Confirms that the lithium batteries have successfully undergone the mandatory UN 38.3 tests for secure transportation.
3) Dangerous Goods Declaration: A document certifying compliance with dangerous goods regulations, if applicable.
4) Packing List: Specifies the contents of the shipment in detail, including battery descriptions and quantities.
5) Commercial Invoice: An invoice used for customs purposes that outlines the value and description of the goods.
6) Packaging Certificate: If necessary, this certificate verifies that the packaging meets standards for transporting hazardous materials.
7) Transport Document: Depending on the mode of transport utilized, this could be an Air Waybill (for air transport), a Bill of Lading (for sea transport), or a consignment note (for road transport).
