Shipping Batteries (HMT C53)
Assure Compliance with 49 CFR, IATA, IMDG Rules

The domestic and international rules for shipping batteries, especially lithium batteries, have undergone significant change over the past two years. With the increase of battery shipment inspections and fines for non-compliance, civil penalties can be as high as $55,000/day/incident or $110,000/day/violation for
criminal violations resulting in death, serious injury/illness or property damage.
