Logistics Service Guide

Lithium batteries are prone to "thermal runaway" in the event of an impact or defect. Because this can cause a catastrophic fire in an aircraft's cargo hold—where emergency response is highly difficult—they are strictly managed as extreme hazards.

Yes. For air freight, safety regulations require that the State of Charge (SOC) be maintained at 30% or less when shipping standalone lithium-ion batteries.

No, air freight regulations are much stricter. For air transport, lithium batteries are often completely banned from passenger aircraft or subject to strict capacity limits, meaning they are primarily shipped as "Cargo Aircraft Only" (CAO). Ocean freight allows for large-volume shipments, and the regulatory approval process is relatively more flexible. However, since transport regulations vary by carrier, it is absolutely necessary to verify shipment feasibility with the specific shipping line beforehand.
