Transportation precaution for customers
For sea or air transportation, the handling label (refer to the example above) 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.
