Lithium Battery Shipping: Why "Bulk & Loose" Never Works?
Lithium batteries = Class 9 dangerous goods. Missing UN38.3 or proper packaging? Customs seizes your container. Add ocean moisture and vibration – poor packing turns cargo into scrap.
❌ 5 Costly Mistakes
No full DG docs → Detention + demurrage + fines, easily $10k+
Weak packaging → Condensation, crushing, corrosion – damage rate 6%~12%
Random loading → Wastes 30% space, raises freight; unstable stacking crushes boxes
Unreliable delivery → Wrong items, late shipments – kills client's sales season
No tracking → Clients left in the dark
