Products containing batteries should be noted

With the continuous development of global trade, battery-containing products occupy an important position in the international trade. In order to ensure the safety and compliance of the export goods, the customs has put forward a series of strict requirements for the export of products containing batteries.

I. Specific requirements for exporting products including batteries

1. HS code and inspection and supervision of lithium battery

• No commodity inspection: At present, the HS code of lithium battery related products does not set the inspection and supervision conditions, so there is no need to implement the import and export commodity inspection.
• Dangerous goods management: Nevertheless, lithium batteries are still regarded as dangerous goods, and they must follow the relevant provisions of the Import and Export Commodity Inspection Law of the People's Republic of China and its implementation regulations.
• Packaging form: the common packaging of lithium-ion batteries includes cartons, plywood boxes, wooden boxes, etc.

• Dangerous goods information: in the goods attributes, the dangerous category, packing category and packing UN mark should be clearly filled in.
• Exclusive mark: The package shall be posted with the exclusive rectangular mark of lithium battery or the diamond mark of class 9 dangerous goods. Some countries may require both signs to be posted at the same time.
• UN38.3 Test: All lithium-ion batteries must pass the UN38.3 test before shipment to ensure that the packaging and transportation meet the safety requirements.
• First export requirements: For the first export, proof of each battery or each battery pack through Section 38.3 of the Manual of Proposal Testing and Standards for Transportation of Dangerous Goods.
