Delivery of batteries from China to Ukraine is not an easy task. Not every logistics company can take on such responsibility, as there are numerous rules, restrictions, and specific requirements that must be carefully observed. Unlike ordinary goods, these items require careful handling and strict adherence to all transport conditions. It is important to note that Dragon Logistics is among those carriers that know how to handle such products and are familiar with all the nuances.
Features and requirements
These types of charging devices belong to a category of goods that can pose hazards if handled improperly. That is why shipping batteries from China requires a special approach. Such items may heat up, be damaged by impacts, or create risks during transportation, so strict rules apply.
One of the main requirements is proper packaging. The device must be charged at least 30%, securely fixed, and protected from moisture and accidental damage. For smaller home-use models, they are placed in reinforced boxes, protective materials are added, and additional sealing is applied. Special marks and warning labels must be placed on the packaging to inform carriers how to handle the cargo.
Marking also plays an important role. The box must include information about the sender, device type, and transportation requirements, along with a Class 9 hazard label and the UN number. This helps transport personnel properly position and monitor the cargo. Documents must be prepared in advance to avoid delays.
Required documentation includes:
- dangerous goods declaration;
- UN 38.3 certificate (confirms the device has passed required testing);
- safety data sheet;
- certificate of compliance with Ukraine’s technical regulations.
The documents must include the product’s specifications, purpose, type, and other relevant details. This is especially important for air transport, as aviation has strict safety rules.
Sea transport is suitable for larger shipments because it allows moving bulk quantities. This method is also commonly used for transporting larger equipment, such as generators from China.
In general, the choice of transport depends on shipment volume, deadlines, and type of goods. Small shipments are often consolidated into containers, creating optimal conditions and reducing costs compared to shipping batches separately. Logistics planning must be done in advance to properly manage schedules and budgets.
Potential challenges and solutions
Transporting charging stations may involve various difficulties. The most common issue is possible delays caused by document checks, improper packaging, or additional customs requirements. To avoid such situations, the cargo must be prepared in advance and comply with all requirements.
Customs nuances play a significant role. If charging stations or power banks are shipped from China, it is necessary to verify the list of permits and documents in advance. All information in the documents must match, or the cargo may be delayed. For fast and hassle-free delivery, the best solution is to choose a reliable logistics partner, which can be Dragon Logistics.
