AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY (NON-DG) TRANSPORTATION

Risk Control

In international logistics, Automotive Batteries are considered a sensitive cargo category, even when shipped under Non-DG conditions. In practice, many battery shipments face risks such as cargo rejection, container hold, or last-minute DG reclassification due to incomplete assessment or improper documentation. Leveraging its experience in handling technical and sensitive cargo, AMG Logistics successfully managed an Automotive Battery (Non-DG) shipment, ensuring correct classification, full compliance, and on-schedule delivery.

Key Considerations

• Potential risks of heat generation, leakage, or short circuit
• High scrutiny from shipping lines due to DG-related concerns
• Strict requirements for packaging, insulation, and documentation

AMG Logistics' Approach

Systematic cargo assessment
Our Team Conducted a Comprehensive Review Of MSDS and battery technical specifications
UN Classification and IMDG Code requirements
Carrier-specific acceptance criteria

The objective was to confirm Non-DG status from the outset, preventing risks after booking confirmation.

Packaging and transport safety control
AMG Closely Verified New batteries in good condition, free from leakage or damage
Proper insulation of battery terminals
Secure palletization and container stuffing

Correct packaging is a critical factor for carrier acceptance of Non-DG battery cargo.

Proactive coordination with shipping lines
Rather Than Reacting To Issues At The Port, AMG Submitted technical documentation for pre-review
Clarified all DG-sensitive points in advance
Obtained written confirmation of acceptance

This proactive coordination significantly reduced the risk of cargo hold, delays, or unexpected costs.
