Shipping battery-powered goods from China to Canada requires specialized expertise. From lithium-ion batteries (UN3480) to devices containing batteries (UN3481), the regulations are stringent—and they change frequently.
With 9 years of experience in the China-Canada logistics lane, SURIGOR is your trusted partner for compliant, hassle-free DDP air freight for battery cargo. We handle all documentation, customs clearance, duties, and final delivery—with no surprises.
Canada's Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations classify lithium batteries as Class 9 dangerous goods. Key requirements include:
- UN3480: Lithium-ion batteries (standalone) - Forbidden on passenger aircraft
- UN3481: Lithium-ion batteries contained in or packed with equipment
- Documentation: MSDS, dangerous goods declaration, and UN-certified packaging
- Watt-hour Rating: Must be displayed on the battery case (for cells manufactured after Jan 1, 2009)
We handle the complexity so you don't have to:
- Regulatory Compliance: Our team ensures your MSDS, dangerous goods declaration, and packaging meet both IATA (air) and TDG (Canada) requirements
- Carrier Selection: Not all carriers accept battery shipments. We leverage our relationships with DHL (most flexible for electronics with batteries) and specific airlines with dangerous goods approvals to secure space for your cargo
- Customs Clearance (DDP): We act as the Importer of Record, paying all applicable duties and GST/HST upfront. No surprises, no delays at CBSA
