Speakers, power banks and razors all contain lithium cells, which means they fall under dangerous goods rules for transport. This is routine and manageable, but it is not optional and it is not something to discover at the freight forwarder.

Sea freight is the normal route and the cheapest, and it is where most of this trade moves. Air freight is possible but carries restrictions on cell capacity, state of charge and packaging, and the rules differ between carriers as well as between jurisdictions.

The documentation that travels with the goods matters as much as the goods. Certification copies naming the specific models, and the transport documentation for the cells, are what allow a shipment to clear without a query. Both should be in hand before the container leaves, not requested after it arrives.

The port of loading for our shipments is stated as Shenzhen. Tell us your destination and shipping method at quotation stage, because it affects both what we can ship and what has to accompany it.
