Lithium Battery Shipping & Training
If your products contain lithium batteries, you are operating under the strictest shipping regulations on earth. You don't need a general virtual assistant. You need certified, specialist intervention to bulletproof your bottom line. Is your supply chain fully protected against the tight regulations of Class 9 Dangerous Goods?
Shipping lithium batteries internationally is a legal minefield. A single misclassified tariff code or an incorrect pallet label can result in seized stock, carrier blacklisting, or severe regulatory fines.

Why is Lithium Battery Compliance important to your business?
Lithium batteries are contained in a multitude of everyday items and often, we may not be aware that products contain them. For instance, did you know that many PCB's will contain a Lithium Battery or Cell? If you are shipping a product that contains such a PCB, you will be shipping a Lithium Battery contained in Equipment. Other products are far more obvious - Power tools, Vapes, Measuring Equipment and Sensors. It's a non exhaustive list. Allowing Hillfort to train your team, will open up new avenues for shipping, reduce cost and risk.
Why do Lithium batteries require greater regulation than Alkaline batteries? Because they pose greater risk than alkaline batteries during transport.
