■Transportation precaution for customers
For sea or air transportation, the handling label (above Fig.) must be attached to the package of a Mitsubishi Electric cell or
battery. In addition, attaching the label to the outer package of an overpack containing several packages by Mitsubishi Electric
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. Documentation like the handling
label in the specified design and the Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods are required for transportation. Please attach
the documentation to the packages and the outer package of the overpack.
The requirements of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations are subject to change according to the annual revision. 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.
