10.1 Lithium Ion Battery Shipping Guidelines for Customers
The battery case is designed to make shipping the batteries back to Geometrics as easy as possible. The
following are some guidelines on how to ship them.
The following must be included on the outside of the box to be shipped:
• Proper shipping name of goods
– Lithium ion batteries – UN 3480
• Full name and address of shipper
– Customer's or shipper's name and address
• Net weight of batteries
– 8.72kg for two sets of batteries
– 4.36kg for one set of batteries
• Class 9 Dangerous Goods Label
• Cargo Aircraft Only designation label
The Pelican case already has a Class 9 Dangerous Goods label, the proper shipping name of the goods
and the Cargo Aircraft Only label. The customer will have to label the case with their name and address
and the net weight of the batteries (see above).
In addition, the customer will need to provide the following documentation to the shipping company
and will have to pay for lithium battery shipping. It is also required that the person who packs the
batteries receive Dangerous Goods Shipping training
(http://www.iata.org/training/delivery/Pages/trainingpartners.aspx
The batteries may not be shipped to Geometrics if:
a) The batteries are damaged
b) The batteries are leaking
c) The packaging is damaged or the structural integrity has been compromised in any way
It is highly suggested that the customer read through the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations and the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Subtitle B, Chapter I, Part 178-Hazardous Materials
Transportation, Specifications for Packagings. The customer is solely responsible for shipping the lithium
batteries and will be liable for any non-compliance.
