International regulations for the sea transportation of lithium batteries are primarily governed by the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. This set of regulations provides guidance on the classification, packaging, labeling, and handling of dangerous goods, including lithium batteries.
TNT Express will accept Lithium Batteries in Dangerous Goods shipments for transport but only from specifically approved customers and with restrictions for the different origins/destinations, and services/products offered.
During the transportation, we strictly followed the international regulations on the transportation of dangerous goods to ensure the safe arrival of lithium batteries. Every year, we help customers export and transport about 6000-8000 containers of natural cabinets in the world, including CIF/DDP/DAP and other provisions. In addition, our company has also participated in state

In the past few months, Gard has received several queries on the safe carriage of battery energy storage systems (BESS) on ships. In this insight, we highlight some of the key risks, regulatory requirements, and recommendations for shipping such cargo.
It is recognised that Li-ion battery technology is evolving rapidly and, therefore, risk control procedures for the safe transportation of Li-ion batteries and related goods may need to develop and evolve over time. However, the Guidelines recommend that the supply chain should improve its incident record relating to the transport of Li-ion batteries. Manufacturers
In particular, shippers and stakeholders handling, offering and providing storage or transport of Lithium-Ion Batteries, should review the safe carriage of Lithium-Ion Batteries together with their customers, suppliers, manufacturers and producers, to apply and plan the supply chain transport in order to comply with international safety, health

Battery Summary Test: the battery passport. Once it has been ascertained that the batteries are compliant with all the standards in section 38.3 of the Manual of Tests and Criteria, in order to proceed with outbound logistics, it is essential to ensure that the supporting shipping documentation and accompanying labelling are correct and complete.
The professional transport of battery-related articles – via air, sea or road – is subject to international, national and regional regulatory frameworks, which include comprehensive administrative and operational measures to ensure the safe transport at all times. The requirements apply to lead-, lithium-, nickel- and sodium-based batteries.

Gard published that in the past few months, has received several queries on the safe carriage of battery energy storage systems (BESS) on ships and highlights some of the key risks, regulatory requirements, and recommendations for shipping such cargo.
BESS with lithium-ion batteries is classed as a dangerous cargo, subject to the provisions of the IMDG Code. In the IMDG Code, there are multiple descriptions and shipping names for lithium cells and batteries, depending on their chemistry and whether they are stand-alone, within equipment, contained within vehicles or cargo transport units.
As of January 2017 the Lithium Battery Transport document is not mandatory as per ADR Special Provision 188. Shipments containing lithium batteries that are not compliant with all requirements above cannot be shipped as “Excepted” Lithium Batteries under SP 188 and consequently these shipments must be declared and shipped as ‘full’ Dangerous Goods.
Batteries can be shipped on all main modes of transportation used in logistics: air, ocean, road, and rail. However, there are some different regulations and requirements depending on the mode of transport. Below we cover general guidelines applicable to all transport modes, but check the following dangerous goods regulations for specific info:
From electric vehicles to laptops to massive grid storage systems, the demand for batteries is growing. And so is the need to ship batteries safely and efficiently. But hold up! You can’t just toss lithium batteries in a box and call it a day. Transporting batteries is a serious business.
