We need to make an initial cargo classification before shipping wireless mouse from China

As an international logistics company from China, we frequently shipping wireless mouse from China to global. No matter for sea shipping or air shipping, there is a significant difference between wireless mouse with built-in lithium battery and one without a built-in battery (where the wireless mouse uses AAA or AAAA batteries in the unit package). The former one is DG cargo and the latter one is common cargo.

International logistics has strict regulations for shipping hazardous materials.

Lithium Battery Regulations

Before we shipping a batch of wireless mouse from China, we need to ask the exporter (Sometimes the importer is the consignor) what’s the mouse’s power supply. Lithium batteries (especially rechargeable lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries) are classified as dangerous goods for international shipping due to their potential risk of overheating, catching fire or exploding if not properly handled. Therefore, all shippers are required to prepare special packaging and documentation. Sometimes they are even restricted in air transport. Regulations, such as those set by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) or International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) codes, must be followed.

Many shippers and consignees quite know that lithium batteries are often subject to restrictions, including packaging requirements, weight limitations and specific handling instructions. In most times, a special declaration of dangerous goods is absolutely needed.

It’s not that strict in ground shipping. Fewer restrictions but still requires careful labeling and packaging according to national regulations (e.g., DOT in the U.S.).

Non-Lithium Battery (AAA or AAAA Batteries)

A lot of wireless mouses are designed to hold external alkaline batteries that are not rechargeable. There are less restrictions to shipping them.

In air shipping, if AAA batteries are in their original packaging or properly installed in the wireless mouse, dangerous goods declarations are not required usually. However, there are other restrictions on the number of batteries per unit package. Different shipping companies and carriers have specific policy and rules.
