2021-06-01
Dear valued customer, Although Superpack suffered from the serious shortage of electronic components and the hike of raw materials in the past several months, we have been offering batteries without quality compromised. And as a serious company, Superpack did UN38.3 test to all the standard 12.8V lead acid replacement LiFePO4 batteries. They were delivered with UN cartons or crates which meet with UN regulation. Using Superpack’s UN38.3 test report, you can transport the corresponding batteries in the world legally. But from May 16th,2021 on, Chinese Customs tightened up “Dangerous goods transportation packaging identification certificate” (“DG certificate” for short) to all export lithium ion batteries whose watt-hour is more than 100Wh. Some companies such as Ganfeng, Vision were fined because they cannot offer “DG certificate”. You can check the below links for details, http://www.customs.gov.cn//shenzhen_customs/zfxxgk15/2966748/sgs62/xzcf6660/hgzswgxzcfajxxgk21/3666918/index.html http://www.customs.gov.cn//shenzhen_customs/zfxxgk15/2966748/sgs62/xzcf6660/hgzswgxzcfajxxgk21/3679130/index.html The standard procedure of getting the “DG certificate” is as follows, 1. Battery manufacturer apply for “UN38.3 test report” ,”MSDS report”, “certificate for safe sea transport of goods” or “identification and classification report for air transport of goods” from a certified laboratory. Note: The laboratory should be CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) certified. Superpack use Anbotek to offer the service. For 12.8V6Ah~300Ah LiFePO4 battery, the test fee is 1000~3000USD each item depend on its watt-hour. Six battery samples and 15 working days needed. 2.Carton manufacturer apply for the “import & export goods packaging performance testing certificate” (“carton certificate” for short) from Chinese Customs with the above reports. .
