With the rapid growth of cross-border e-commerce and overseas industrial projects, the demand for exporting lithium batteries—such as energy storage batteries, EV batteries, and industrial power systems—has increased significantly. However, lithium batteries are classified as dangerous goods (Class 9), requiring strict compliance in packaging, documentation, and transportation procedures.
YUNCARGO (Yunze International Logistics) provides a professional and reliable lithium battery sea freight service to Cebu, Philippines, offering a complete DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) door-to-door solution to ensure safe, compliant, and hassle-free delivery.
1. Basic Requirements for Lithium Battery Shipping
Due to the hazardous nature of lithium batteries, international shipping regulations must be strictly followed.
1.1 Packaging Requirements (Mandatory)
- Lithium batteries must be packed in strong wooden cases
- Internal cushioning (foam, EPE, etc.) is required
- Ensure protection against shock, compression, and short circuits during transit
Proper packaging is essential not only for safety but also for smooth customs clearance.
1.2 Required Documentation
The following documents are mandatory for shipping lithium batteries:
