Shipping Lithium Battery Items (Important Notice)
Shipping lithium-powered items requires strict compliance with international dangerous goods regulations.
At our company, we generally do NOT accept lithium battery items in our standard shipping containers.
⚠️ Why Lithium Batteries Are Restricted
Lithium batteries are classified as hazardous materials because they can:

Overheat
-
Catch fire
-
Explode if damaged or improperly handled
Due to these risks, strict international shipping regulations apply—especially for sea freight.
