What is the issue with shipping batteries overseas ?
The issues arises from a few incidents involving lithium batteries that caught fire whilst on board aircraft. Not a healthy situation and one that prompted the governing bodies to place restrictions on the carriage of all lithium batteries.
It doesn’t mean that you can’t ship batteries by air however it now makes it extremely expensive to ship lithium batteries by air and indeed many carriers refuse to accept them. We, therefore, have to decline many orders where shipping by air is required.
One way around this is for to organise your own shipping, maybe by road or sea, which at least one of our customers has managed to do.
This does not affect shipping within the UK nor does it affect non lithium batteries.
