If you ship batteries by ground or air, you must comply with stringent DOT and IATA regulations on how batteries are classified, packaged, marked, labeled, transported, and identified on shipping papers. The rules apply not only to batteries, but also to equipment or vehicles that contain batteries as well as batteries packed with equipment. Many batteries are regulated, including lithium ion and metal, wet batteries (e.g., lead-acid), and sodium. There are packaging and reporting requirements for dry batteries such as nickel cadmium, nickel metal hydride, and alkaline types.
According to 49 CFR 172.704, all personnel involved in the classification, packaging, marking, labeling, or shipment of fully regulated batteries must receive initial and recurrent training.
