Dangerous goods transportation packaging identification certificate

May 25, 2021

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 strictly. Using Superpack’s UN38.3 report, you can transport the corresponding batteries in the world legally.

But from May 16th,2021 on, Chinese Customs is checking “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 of it already. You can check the links for details.

To get the “DG certificate”, we need do as the following steps,
1. To get the “import & export goods packaging performance testing certificate” (“carton certificate” for short) issued by Chinese Customs from a UN carton manufacturer. It need 600USD & 30 working days for a customized UN carton. MOQ is 1500pcs. The “carton certificate” is valid within one year.
2. To 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. The laboratory should be CNAS (China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment) certified. Superpack chose Anbotek to offer the service. The test fee is 1000~3000USD each item depend on its watt-hour. Six battery samples and 15 working days needed.
3. To get “Hazard characteristics classification and identification report ” issued by the affiliated laboratory of Chinese Customs. It need 250USD each item and 3 working days.
4. Superpack offer on-site audit application form to local Customs. It need 7 working days for Customs to check the documents.
5. Local Customs issue “DG certificate” after the officials checked the goods and UN packaging on-site. It need 7 working days.

To get a valid “DG certificate”, the photos in page 15 of “UN38.3 test report” should be the sames as the batteries with your own labels. It means if the batteries with your own labels but the “UN38.3 test report” used Superpack labels will be rejected by Chinese Customs.

Without valid “DG certificate”, nobody can ship the lithium ion batteries (more than 100Wh) out from mainland of China legally at this moment although it is unnecessary in Hongkong port.

If you buy the standard 12.8V LiFePO4 batteries with Superpack labels, Superpack need do step 3 , step 4 and step 5 to get “DG certificate”only.
But if you buy the standard 12.8V LiFePO4 batteries with your own labels, Superpack need do from step 2 to step 5 to get “DG certificate”.

To cope with the current situation, for the battery whose watt-hour is more than 100Wh, we would like offer below solutions for your choice,
1) For sample (Superpack standard 12.8V LiFePO4 battery), it will use Superpack’s labels and you stick your own labels after you received them;
2) For small quantity order (Superpack standard 12.8V battery) and it isn’t worthy of paying for new UN38.3 test report, it will use Superpack labels and you stick your own labels after you received the goods;
3) For large quantity/item order (Superpack standard 12.8V battery), Superpack will share 50% UN38.3 test fee & sample fee with you. And Superpack will pay for “Hazard characteristics classification and identification report ” in step 3;
4) For customized sample (not Superpack standard 12.8V LiFePO4 battery), we will discuss it with you individually;
5) For customized battery order (not Superpack standard 12.8V battery), we need you pay for UN38.3 test fee & sample fee in advance, Superpack will pay for “Hazard characteristics classification and identification report ” in step 3;

BTW, because of the shortage of high voltage MOSFETs, our SPF12V7.2-ST, SPF12V9-ST, SPF12V10-ST, SPF12V12-ST & SPF12V20-ST will support 4 batteries in series only at this moment.

As always, do not hesitate to reach out to Superpack if you have any question, comment or concern.

Sincerely,
