Lithium battery shippers face complex regulations. Unique rules exist depending on the battery size, how they are packaged, and mode of transport. Inspections and fines are rising due to the high hazards and risks of battery transport.
Civil penalties are up to $50,000 per day per incident and criminal "knowing" violations are up to $100,000 per day per violation. Assure your lithium battery shipments are in compliance with the latest U.S. DOT and international regulations.
