1. Clear classification
First of all, it is necessary to clarify which category of dangerous goods your product belongs to. Lithium-ion batteries are classified in Class 9: Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods. Goods falling into this category may pose a threat to human health and safety, the safety of facilities and their means of transport during transport. This category tells you what documents, labels and markings are required when shipping this particular product.

2. Packaging is complete
After sorting your product, it is crucial to find a packaging partner to supply the correct packaging for your product and help you comply with all regulations. Develop a packaging method with the packaging supplier and test it iteratively.

3. Make a mark
If you are using UN certified packaging, it must be clearly indicated with the appropriate UN marking.

4. Labeled
Labels must be affixed to a shipment of dangerous goods in accordance with regulations. The label includes the UN code and the name of the cargo, in this case "UN3480LithiumIonBatteries" and the correct hazard class label. Additional labels are required in some cases.

5. Have supporting documents
Before handing over the packaged goods to the shipping company, make sure you have all the correct documents required to transport lithium-ion batteries. Meet these 5 requirements and your lithium-ion battery package is ready to be shipped.
