Conditions for sending lithium batteries by international mail
[Conditions for sending lithium batteries by international mail (Overview)] All of the following conditions must be met.
(1) Batteries must be installed in or built-in to the equipment. (2) The capacity of the lithium battery or watt-hour rated value, etc. must be within certain limitations. (3) The quantity of lithium batteries must be within the prescribed limitation (4 units in the case of electric cell, 2 units in case of assembled battery). (4) The mail must be addressed to countries/regions without restrictions on importing lithium batteries.
Button type lithium batteries installed in equipment (*1) do not fall under the category of dangerous goods by air. So equipment in which button type lithium batteries are installed (*2) can be sent by either airmail or surface mail.
*1: Button type battery refers to a round-shape battery with a diameter *2: Examples of articles for which lithium batteries are used
that is larger than its height (also referred to as a coin type battery or
• Rice cooker• Desktop computers, etc.
* Button type lithium batteries are used for watches and data storage for backup memory.
Conditions for sending (details) (1) Batteries must be
installed in or built-in to the equipment.
The installment or built-in state of batteries in the equipment must comply with the following conditions. If the batteries are properly installed in commercially-available electronic equipment, they are usually compliant with the conditions mentioned here.
• Batteries must be installed in equipment protected from damage or shorts.
• Batteries must be installed in equipment for which effective measures have been taken to prevent accidental activation of the battery.
• Assembled-type lithium batteries must be manufactured using appropriate materials with sufficient strength for their packing capabilities and intended use, and packed in a designed container with a sturdy exterior. However, this requirement does not apply in cases where the equivalent level of protection is provided by the equipment of the built-in batteries.
• Batteries must be packed in compliance with Part 2 of the Packing Standard 967 (Lithium ion electric cell and lithium ion assembled battery) or Part 2 of the Packing Standard 970 (Lithium metal electric cell and lithium metal assembled battery) stipulated by the latest ICAO technical guidelines.
× cannot be sent.
○ can be sent.
Lithium battery by itself Lithium batteries are installed or built- in to the You cannot send the following lithium batteries if they are not installed in the equipment even if the * Lithium batteries are installed in the other conditions are met.
Lithium batteries are packed together and the batteries and equipment are not separated.
- Lithium battery by itself instead of being installed in the equipment.
- Batteries enclosed with the equipment instead of being installed in the equipment (known as being packed together).
Conditions for sending (details) (2) Conditions related to the capacity of lithium
battery or watt-hour rated value, etc. must be met.
Conditions, such as internal capacity and watt-hour rated value provided according to the type and structure of the lithium battery must be complied with. Batteries used for equipment generally distributed in society (mobile phones, digital cameras, video cameras, laptop computers, etc.) are usually compliant with these conditions.

- The weight of the batteries must not be more than 5 kilograms.
Conditions for sending (details) (3) The quantity of lithium batteries must be
within the following quantity range
You can mail up to 4 lithium electric cells or up to 2 lithium assembled batteries in one mail item using international mail. [Examples in which sending is permitted] Up to 4 lithium electric cells or up to 2 lithium assembled batteries (Example of installation of lithium batteries) 1 mobile phone and 1 video camera ○ 4 digital cameras Digital camera installed with one electric cell Mobile phone installed with one assembled [Examples in which sending is not permitted] 5 or more lithium electric cells or 3 or more lithium assembled batteries 2 mobile phones and 1 video camera 5 digital cameras Video camera installed with one assembled Conditions for sending (details) (4) Mail must be addressed to countries/ regions
without restrictions on importing lithium batteries
