Questions about electronics shipping.
How are lithium batteries shipped?
As Class 9 dangerous goods: packing, marks, labels and documents depend on the battery type and on how it travels, on its own, packed with the device or installed inside it. We prepare them under IATA DGR by air, ADR by road and the IMDG Code by sea.
Can I send a device with a lithium battery by air?
Yes, in line with IATA DGR, which sets different limits and requirements depending on the battery. We check the battery details with you and confirm acceptance with the airline before booking.
What are dual-use goods?
They are products, software and technology that can have both civil and military uses, regulated in the European Union by Regulation (EU) 2021/821. Some need an export authorisation: we check this with you starting from the technical specifications of the product.
Can you store and distribute our products?
Yes. At our logistics hub in Brescia we offer storage, pick & pack and cross-docking. From there we ship to your customers in Italy and abroad.
What do you need to organise the shipment?
A description and customs code for the products, weights, dimensions, value, destination and, if there are lithium batteries, the battery type and its technical data sheet. With these details we check the mode, the packing and any authorisations.
