Lithium batteries included in the device definition

When shipping lithium-ion batteries to international destinations; they cannot be shipped individually. They must be installed on the equipment they operate on. Packages containing lithium-ion batteries not installed in their equipment are not permitted.

Before transporting the lithium-ion battery contained in the device, you must keep the following points in mind:

· The specifications for the power and quantity of cells and batteries change frequently, and you must read their updated versions before shipping.

· Ask about the regulations of the receiving destination as they may differ from your home country.

· If the device is damaged, make sure that the lithium-ion battery inside is also not damaged.

· Make sure that the lithium-ion battery is not protruding from the device.

It is also important to remember that defective batteries are considered hazardous materials and are not allowed to be shipped anywhere.

The packaging process of devices containing lithium-ion batteries is extremely important. It is recommended that you use a professional packaging agency to help you with this process. When packing a device with a lithium-ion battery inside, be sure to observe the following:

· Use of sturdy, high-quality packaging materials is essential. Don't use cheap materials.

· Equipment must be packaged in a manner that prevents it from moving during transport.

· Add a return address and emergency contact number on the package.

· The lithium battery handling label must be clearly attached to the package and must not be folded.
