Lithium batteries provide more energy and a longer operating life than other battery chemistries, making them a popular choice for several products. However, if treated improperly, they have the potential to short-circuit and generate a significant amount of heat, possibly creating an explosion or fire, called thermal runaway.
Lithium battery shipping regulations can be complicated. We can help.
There are several regulations surrounding the safe transport of lithium batteries. Remember: all types of lithium batteries are considered Dangerous Goods and must be handled and labeled properly. The type of lithium battery, quantity, electric capacity, charge and how they're packed — whether they're contained within equipment, shipped with equipment or all alone — are all determining factors in how to pack and label lithium battery shipments. Whether it be by air, ocean, rail or truck, there are many regulations in place and it can be difficult to know how to properly pack, label and ship these batteries.
That's why we created the FedEx Trade Networks Lithium Batteries & Cells Shipping Guide to lead you through the process.

Damaged, defective or recalled batteries are forbidden for air transport. However, batteries which have some other defective feature (e.g., batteries with the incorrect model number on the label or batteries not holding enough charge) could still be shipped by air.
Types of lithium batteries
- Lithium metal batteries, typically found in watches or calculators, are generally non-rechargeable, disposable lithium batteries which contain metallic lithium and are also called primary lithium batteries.
- Lithium ion batteries, typically found in mobile phones or laptops, are generally rechargeable lithium batteries which contain lithium polymer, and are also called secondary lithium batteries.
A lithium cell vs. a lithium battery
A lithium cell is a single encased electrochemical unit consisting of one positive and one negative electrode that exhibits a voltage differential across the two terminals. A lithium battery is one or more cells electrically connected. A single cell battery is considered a cell and not a battery.
FedEx Trade Networks Lithium Batteries & Cells Shipping Guide
It’s important to consider the effects of duties, taxes and other clearance charges when determining an international shipment's total cost (also known as the landed cost). Depending on the shipment content and the destination country, clearance charges could significantly impact the total shipment cost. Being able to calculate and communicate the landed cost up front can save both the shipper and the recipient valuable time and effort.

Duties and taxes are imposed to generate revenue and protect local industry; almost all shipments crossing international borders are subject to duty and tax assessment by the importing country's government. Customs officials assess duties and taxes based on information provided on the shipping label, the Commercial Invoice, and other relevant documents.
The customs clearance services included as part of FedEx® international services are meant to facilitate the import of goods intended for consumption in that country. Therefore, they do not include some special procedures that might be needed to meet governmental requirements for duties and tax relief at the time of export or import.
