Normal Export Customs Declaration vs Third-Party Export Customs Declaration

During the export process of hazardous materials, the required documentation varies depending on the type of goods, category, and regulatory conditions. Hazardous materials is a broad concept that includes dangerous goods, hazardous chemicals, etc., so relevant information regarding the export of hazardous materials has been specifically organized.

Shenzhen BAS International Logistics Co., Ltd. has extensive experience in exporting lithium batteries and products, offering comprehensive support for air freight, sea freight, road transport, railways, and international express delivery to ensure timely and safe service for clients.

International air transport has strict requirements for battery packaging.

From flammable and explosive chemicals to corrosive and highly toxic substances, hazardous materials impose extremely high requirements on packaging due to their unique properties.

Why can lead-acid batteries be transported as ordinary goods in international logistics under superpower conditions, while lithium batteries cannot?

The special provision 238(a) in Chapter 3.3 of the United Nations “Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations” mainly pertains to the transport requirements for dangerous goods such as lead-acid batteries.

Power banks are classified as miscellaneous dangerous goods in Class 9 of the International Air Transport Association’s Dangerous Goods Regulations. These items typically contain lithium batteries, which are unstable and can easily cause safety incidents due to improper handling or environmental changes (such as temperature and pressure variations).

The MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) for batteries is a technical document that details the battery’s composition, hazards, safe handling, emergency procedures, and other information to guide safety management in production, transportation, storage, and usage. Below are the core contents of a general battery MSDS (using the common “lithium-ion battery” as an example; different types of batteries should refer to specific product instructions).

In today’s thriving new energy industry, lithium batteries, as key energy storage carriers, are widely used in various fields such as consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage stations. To ensure the safety of lithium battery transportation, the United Nations has established the UN38.3 certification, which will undergo significant changes in 2025.
