(5) Transportation precaution for customers
For sea or air transportation, attaching the handling label (Fig. app. 1) must be attached to the package of a
Mitsubishi cell or battery. In addition, attaching it to the outer package containing several packages of
Mitsubishi cells or batteries is also required. When the content of a package must be handled as dangerous
goods (Class 9), the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods is required, and the package must be
compliant with Class 9 Packages. Documentations like the handling label in the specified design and the
Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods are required for transportation.
Please attach the documentations to the packages and the outer package.
The IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are revised, and the requirements are changed annually.
When customers transport lithium batteries by themselves, the responsibility for the cargo lies with the
customers. Thus, be sure to check the latest version of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.
