Electronics & Lithium Battery Air Freight in Shanghai

Air-transport requirements for electronics and lithium batteries depend on the actual battery chemistry and shipment configuration, including whether cells or batteries are shipped separately, packed with equipment or contained in equipment. Watt-hour rating or lithium content where applicable, quantity, state of charge where applicable, packing and equipment condition may also affect acceptance. UDB Shanghai coordinates pre-booking review of the UN 38.3 test summary and supporting product, battery and packing information, together with routing through Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) and carrier-acceptance conditions. UDB does not determine classification from product pictures, a marketing name or a generic SDS.
