Per new battery regulations: 

PI965 (Loose lithium-ion batteries) 

Are now strictly prohibited to ship. 

· I.E. – Power banks, Battery packs, cell phone batteries, laptop batteries. 

· All external battery packs and power banks are now regulated to ship and listed as HAZ, since Borderlinx is not an approved HAZ shipper these cannot ship. 

I have attached some links for examples of what “Loose Lithium-ion batteries” consist of.

PI966 (Lithium-ion batteries W/ Equipment) 

Have more regulations 

Ø Laptop with battery outside of laptop CAN ship. as long as battery is under 100 WH and packaged with equipment (same box, inside of another box) 

Ø Camera & camera battery CAN ship. 

· Per NEW regulations only 1 battery per shipment with equipment. 

· Must be sent in box, no longer shipped inside of padded pouch or poly bag. 

Example attached: 

Most cameras are sent with battery outside of the item itself but located inside of the Camera box and then the camera box is packaged into another box. If an item is packaged like this it will be OK to ship, if not then it will be prohibited.
