Lithium battery export maritime declaration rules, may need to add a "magic spell"! According to the latest recommendation of CINS, a container shipping safety organization, all goods containing lithium batteries, even if they meet the SP188 exemption conditions, even if a box does not exceed 20 kilograms, will be included in the scope of compulsory declaration of dangerous goods!
Why recommend tightening? With the increase in the export volume of lithium batteries, there are more and more fires and other accidents caused by shipping. In 2025 alone, there were 218 ship fire and explosion accidents in the world, of which about a quarter were related to the misdeclaration of dangerous goods. Lithium batteries have been the main culprits of many large ship fires. The greatest
pressure is on portable energy storage and household standby power supply , which are popular at sea-the exemption is gone, the cost of packaging, documents and booking is rising across the board, and the price war is more difficult to fight. Although
large energy storage containers are transported according to dangerous goods, the shipping company's audit is tightened, and the space and schedule may also be affected. The next stage of energy storage going to sea is not only price, but also safety and compliance.
