What are the requirements of international express for the packaging of batteries and live products?

 

International express delivery has always strictly controlled live products. Many international express channels have listed electrified products as prohibited items. Because batteries are flammable and easily leakable items, the Civil Aviation Administration of China issued the "About Strengthening the Safety of Lithium Battery in Passenger Bag "Notice of Air Transport", expressly prohibits international air transport of items with batteries, especially lithium batteries.

 

In order to avoid accidents and protect the lives and property of passengers, it is prohibited to consign (including large cargo) lithium batteries for electronic equipment such as mobile phones or laptops during air transportation.

 

In fact, batteries and live products can be transported, but they must meet the airline's requirements for the transportation of dangerous goods.
