Lithium-ion batteries on their own (including mobile batteries) cannot be shipped. However, if the lithium-ion battery is built into a product, in most cases it can be shipped after removing the battery itself.
What can and cannot be shipped
| Condition | Whether it can be shipped |
|---|---|
| Lithium-ion battery on its own (including mobile batteries) | Cannot be shipped |
| A product with a lithium-ion battery built in | Can be shipped after removal of battery (with restrictions depending on the destination country and carrier) |
Notes
Why shipping lithium-ion batteries on their own is prohibited
Because fire accidents caused by lithium-ion batteries are increasing, transporting lithium-ion batteries on their own is internationally prohibited.
Differences by destination country and carrier
Even for products with a lithium-ion battery built in, the handling rules differ depending on the destination country or region and the carrier. If you are not sure, contact WorldShopping customer support via the Contact Form.
