Lithium Battery Shipping from China to Europe (DDP Guide)

Power banks, battery packs, and electronics with lithium cells are common China–Europe cargo — but need correct documentation. TY Freight checks MSDS/UN38.3 requirements and quotes DDP door-to-door to EU and UK addresses.

Documents We Typically Need

MSDS/SDS, UN38.3 test summary (for many lithium types), commercial invoice with accurate description, and packing list. Incomplete docs delay booking.

Packaging Tips

Use compliant packing, avoid loose batteries in mixed cartons when possible, and label cartons clearly. We can repack at Guangzhou warehouse if needed.

Mode Selection

Sea (~50d) for bulk approved shipments; road (~25d) when timing matters and cargo qualifies. Always confirm battery type before choosing mode.
