Cross border logistics transportation also has many restrictions on products, with live products such as display batteries and power supplies being one of the restricted items. Due to the high risk of live products such as batteries being shipped to the United States, many international express deliveries do not support transportation.

1. What is the best route for pure batteries to the United States?

If it is a built-in battery product for small items, you can choose from the four major express delivery options: DHL, FedEx, UPS, and TNT; If it is a pure battery product or a relatively large battery quantity, choose a dedicated pure battery dedicated channel.

2. What does pure battery transportation require?

If batteries and products are shipped by international express delivery, some qualifications are also required.

Provide battery manufacturer certificate.

Provide battery trademark.

Provide the original seal stamped by the battery manufacturer.

The waybill, list, and invoice indicate the type of battery (lithium battery), type (PI965-PI968), and power (current * voltage).

If you lack any qualifications, your battery cannot be transported. If the logistics provider requires you to provide other information, the seller must also truthfully submit it.

4. Customs declaration

Pure batteries are special sensitive items, so in terms of logistics and customs clearance, everyone must declare truthfully. If customs find that the item has low declaration, the product will be seized. In terms of declared product names, the main focus should be on general product names to ensure the rationality of customs clearance and compliance with customs clearance.

In general, if pure batteries are to be transported to the United States, the seller needs to prepare a lot of things. Otherwise, if the audit fails, they may be detained by customs, and more seriously, it may lead to some dangerous events. This is really not worth the loss;
