Documents & Compliance for Battery Shipping

Proper documentation and accurate cargo declarations are essential. Requirements vary depending on battery type, packaging, transport mode and destination.

01

UN38.3 Test Report

Confirms that the battery model has passed the applicable UN transportation safety tests.

02

MSDS / SDS

Provides battery composition, hazard information, handling precautions and emergency guidance.

03

Transport Assessment Report

Relevant transport condition identification or assessment documents may be required depending on the shipping method.

04

Dangerous Goods Packaging

Applicable packaging must meet the relevant transport regulations. Certain shipments qualifying under Special Provision 188 may be exempt from specific dangerous goods packaging requirements, provided all applicable conditions are met.

05

Accurate Cargo Declaration

Product name, battery type, quantity, rated capacity and watt-hour (Wh) information must accurately match the actual cargo and supporting documents.

  • Product name matches the battery model — no mixed models
  • Watt-hour rating taken from the label, never estimated
  • Quantities consistent with packing list and invoice

Incorrect declarations or concealed battery information may result in shipment delays, rejection, penalties or cargo seizure.
