NEW REGULATION Lithium Batteries and Electronic Products that require them 

IMPORTANT! As you may know, there is a risk of certain lithium batteries catching fire. New regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in effect as of 1st January 2014 restrict the shipment of certain specific types of lithium batteries, which are considered "dangerous goods". Although not all lithium batteries are affected by these regulations, be sure to check your product specifications carefully against the restrictions below. 

NEW IATA RESTRICTIONS FROM 1.1.2014: ("Wh" means Watts per hour)     • LITHIUM ION BATTERIES with 
        • over 2.7 Wh and less than 100 Wh per battery and more than two batteries per box, OR 
        • over 2.7 Wh and less than 100 Wh per battery and more than 8 cells per package. 
    • LITHIUM METAL BATTERIES with 
        • over 0.3g lithium and less than 1g lithium per battery and more than two batteries per box, OR 
        • over 0.3g lithium and less than 1g lithium per battery and no more than 8 cells per box. 

OTHERS RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS are:     • We will not ship any lithium batteries (ion or metal type) which are confirmed or suspected to be defective or damaged. 
    • We will screen the batteries in all electronic items at our export facility and will not be able to ship any items to you that fall into the above categories. That may mean that the product has to be returned to the merchant. 
    • More information is contained on these restrictions at http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/cargo/dgr/Pages/lithium-batteries.aspx
