Additional Battery Guidance
Types of Batteries
There are many kinds of batteries available today and several are regulated as hazardous materials in transportation that may only be shipped by contract hazmat shippers.
Lead-acid batteries
Common in cars, electric wheelchairs, some continuous computer power sources, and other applications. These batteries contain highly corrosive acid and can cause fires from short circuits.
Non-spillable batteries
Tested, proven non-spillable batteries are allowed to be shipped as non-hazardous within the U.S. Batteries and packaging must be marked “NONSPILLABLE” or “NONSPILLABLE BATTERY”.
Lithium and lithium ion batteries
Both rechargeable and non-rechargeable power sources, common in computers, cell phones, cameras and other small electronic devices. If dropped, crushed or short-circuited, these batteries can release dangerous amounts of heat and may ignite, and are dangerous in fires. Special regulations apply to shipping these batteries. Shipments requiring hazardous materials shipping papers are accepted from contract hazmat shippers only, and certain lithium batteries may not qualify for UPS service.
Other Batteries
Although common dry cell (e.g., AA, C, D batteries) may not be regulated as hazardous materials, all batteries can cause fires from short circuits if batteries and terminals are not protected.
Protect Batteries and Terminals
When shipping batteries, you must protect all terminals against short circuits by completely covering the terminals with an insulating material (e.g., by using electrical tape or enclosing each battery separately in a plastic bag).

  • Short circuits can cause fires.
  • Package the batteries to keep them from being crushed or damaged, and to keep them from shifting during handling.
  • Always keep metal objects or other materials that can short circuit battery terminals securely away from the batteries – e.g., by using separate inner box for the batteries.
Prevent Fires
Any device with installed batteries must not turn on while in transport. Protect switches that can be accidentally activated, or remove the batteries and protect the terminals.

– Even very simple devices like flashlights or rechargeable drills can generate a dangerous quantity of heat if accidentally activated.
Recalled or Recycled Batteries
Never ship recalled or recycled batteries by air.

Air level services include UPS Next Day Air®, UPS 2nd Day Air®, UPS 3 Day SelectSM, UPS Worldwide ExpressSM, and UPS Worldwide ExpeditedSM.

No recycled or recalled batteries are allowed to be shipped between the continental U.S. and Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico, where aircraft always must be used.
Electronic Items for Repair
Repair items, such as computers and cell phones, should be sent without batteries.

This is only a sampling of trigger terms which should prompt further questions about a shipment. There are many more, and it is hoped that seeing these will lead you to think about other general terms that may warrant further investigation.

Reason           :   will be accept by contract only in accordance with the currentUPS hazardous materials guide FedEx (Federal express)

Overview

  • What are Dangerous Goods?
    Dangerous Goods are commodities that, when transported, pose some form of danger to people, animals, the environment, or the carrier. Dangerous goods can be either acceptable or unacceptable for shipping. The latest list of Dangerous Goods can be accessed at www.iata.org.

    There are nine classifications of Dangerous Goods that identify the type of danger each possesses. These are grouped into categories called accessible and inaccessible which determine the FedEx service you can ship with.

  • Accessible vs. Inaccessible Dangerous Goods
    Certain Dangerous Goods shipments must be accessible to the flight crew in-flight. These are categorized as Accessible Dangerous Goods (ADG). Inaccessible Dangerous Goods (IDG) do not need to be loaded so they are accessible to the flight crew in-flight.

    Dangerous Goods:
    		 Accessible Inaccessible
    Class 1 – Explosives x
    Class 2 – Gases
    2.1 – Flammable Gas x
    2.2 – Nonflammable Gas

Regulations

  • Acceptable Dangerous Goods Summary

    There are some items that sound like they may be considered Dangerous Goods, but are not. These items may be shipped to any location served by FedEx unless they are specifically prohibited by the destination country. Examples include:

    • Gas oil, kerosene, or diesel fuel (if their flashpoints are higher than 60 degrees C)
    • Motor oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, or power steering fluid
    • Ethylene-glycol based antifreeze liquids for autos
    • Water-based paint
    • Blue Ice
    • Neon signs
    • Freon in liquid form (non compressed)
  • Unacceptable Dangerous Goods Summary

    Dangerous goods in violation of the regulations in any way are unacceptable for transportation. In addition, here are some examples of the other Dangerous Goods that are not acceptable for FedEx Express service.

    • Dangerous goods to or from a location where Dangerous Goods service is not available
    • Radioactives, with a transport index higher than 10
    • Explosives other than division 1.4
    • Hazardous waste (including medical waste)
    • Substances with a primary or sub-risk of division 6.1 (toxic substances) packing group I or II, unless the shipper uses V-rated packaging
    • Any substance bearing a toxic gas label (division 2.3)
    • Infectious substances of risk group 4 (division 6.2)

    For more details, call 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339.

  • Dangerous Goods in Excepted Quantities

    Very small quantities of certain Dangerous Goods may be transported as “Dangerous Goods in Excepted Quantities”. You will need to affix the Dangerous Goods in Excepted Quantities label to the shipment.

  • Customs Regulations

    The same customs rules apply to Dangerous Goods shipments as for all other types of shipments. Customs paperwork is only required if the shipment meets the criteria necessary for any particular form.

  • Dry Ice

    • Handling instructions

      Dry Ice must be in packaging designed and constructed to permit the release of carbon dioxide gas and to prevent a buildup of pressure that could rupture the packaging. A good sturdy fiberboard box is acceptable. Styrofoam is generally unacceptable outer packaging.

      A Shipper’s Declaration of Dangerous Goods is not required when shipping dry ice together with a non-Dangerous Good if the following information is contained on the air waybill, and marked on the outside of the package: Dry Ice, 9, UN1845, “_ x _ Kg”.

      (Note: Dry Ice is often used as a refrigerant when packing other Dangerous Goods such as “infectious substances”. Under these circumstances, a Shipper’s Declaration of Dangerous Goods is required.)

    • Marking and Labelling Shipments

      The package must be marked with the names and addresses of both you and the consignee. You may write the information directly on the box or affix a label with the required information to the box.

    • Shipping Options

      Dry Ice is classified by FedEx as “Inaccessible Dangerous Goods” (IDG), therefore, it is acceptable on the FedEx® International Economy, FedEx International Priority™, FedEx® International Priority Freight, FedEx Priority Overnight®, FedEx 2Day® and FedEx 1Day® Freight services.

      Dry Ice is the only type of dangerous good that is acceptable on the FedEx International First service to the U.S. and on the FedEx First Overnight service domestically within Canada.

      Dry Ice shipments are not subject to the Dangerous Goods handling fee.
