Exporting lithium batteries to the EU and US requires a set of compliance and transport documents. The exact file list depends on the product, market and application, but a typical package includes the following.

What Compliance Documents Are Needed to Export Batteries to the EU and US?

Product and Safety Certifications

For the EU market, CE marking indicates conformity with applicable directives. For the US market, UL certification addresses product safety. Both are common market-entry expectations for battery-powered devices sold into those regions.

Transport and Safety Files

UN38.3 test results prove the cells meet the transport safety test series, and an MSDS/safety data sheet describes handling and emergency information. A transport classification report and packaging specification are also prepared for shipping.

Additional files such as test reports, quality-system certificates and customer-specific approvals may be required depending on the end product. Because regulations evolve, confirm the current document set with your buyer and forwarder. SUNHE ENERGY supports customers with the common certification and documentation package; exact deliverables are subject to project evaluation. Buyers may also request RoHS or REACH declarations on restricted substances, especially for consumer and medical end products.
