     Our team has a dangerous goods transportation training certificate and regularly participates in dangerous goods transportation training.
     We have government-approved warehouses for storing lithium batteries to ensure the safety of goods and strictly abide by the lithium battery shipping regulation.
     If you need to ship batteries, JMD is your best choice.

  • 2.What is the scope of JMD air freight service?

    We provide general cargo transportation, battery transportation, and battery product transportation and so on.
     Transporting batteries is no problem for us, let alone general goods.

  • 3.How do I know my air freight shipping charges?

    Contact us through our website for an inquiry. There is an inquiry window on each page, which is free.
     When making an inquiry, please provide us with the weight, number of pieces and size of the goods, so that we can give you a more accurate price.

  • 4.Can I track my package?

    Of course. The entire process of air transportation of batteries can be viewed.
     We will provide you with the tracking number and specific website for inquiries after the goods are in the warehouse.

  • 5. Can you assist customers in customs clearance and delivery to the door?

    It is possible in most countries, depending on the destination airport.

  • 6. How to pack the battery to ensure the safety of the goods during transportation?

    For the inner packaging of the battery, we recommend a carton set for a single battery. If it is a 18650 battery, each battery needs to be packaged separately (tic-tac-toe packaging).
     The outer packaging of the air transport battery needs to be pallets or wooden boxs.
  • 7.How long does it take to ship batteries by air to the airport?

    It is usually 2-7 days, depending on which airport to go to.

  • 8. What do I need to do after the goods arrive at the airport?

    Good question. You only need to prepare the packing list and invoice of the goods in advance, and we will provide you with the bill of lading after payment.
     With three files, customs clearance is almost no problem.

  • 9. What files do I need to prepare for customs clearance?

    Packing list and invoice.

  • 10. What is the minimum weight for air cargo?

    Generally speaking,the minimum air cargo weight should be 100 KGS. For battery cargo to India, only need more than 40 KGS.

  • 11.What is the maximum weight limit of a single battery for air transportation?

    A single battery cannot exceed 150KGS.

  • 12.Is there a charter service for air transport of batteries?

    Yes. We have cooperation with many airlines, as long as you need charter services, we can provide you at any time.

  • 13.What documents do I need to prepare before air shipment of batteries?

    According to IATA regulations, the air transport of lithium batteries requires the manufacturer to provide the battery MSDS, UN38.3 and the transport appraisal report.

  • 14.Which airlines do you cooperate with to transport batteries?

    RU,PO,BA,CV,KD,MU,8K

  • 15. Can you ship the FCL battery by air?

    Absolutely okay. As long as you need, we can provide you with all kinds of services.

  • 16. How to avoid frequent changes in air freight costs?

    The air freight price is determined by the airline. If you need a more accurate price, please consult us again before the goods are shipped.
     During the epidemic, the market environment is unstable, and the earlier the shipment, the lower the price.

  • 17. Can you pay customs duties for me?

    We can do it in most countries. We are familiar with the tariff policies of some countries and strictly abide by the local import policies

  • 18. Do I need to buy insurance for my cargo?

    For air cargo, we recommend that customers buy insurance. We cooperate with insurance companies to provide lower insurance rates.

  • 19. What is the process of battery clearance and delivery to the door?

    To make an analogy, the battery is shipped by air to a specific address in the United States.
     Firstly, we have cooperative agents in U.S. airport that can assist customers in customs clearance.
     Secondly, we are familiar with the local tariff policy of the United States.We strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations, which ensure that your goods are properly declared and transported throughout the entire process.
     Finally, we have a local cooperation with truck companies that specializes in shipping battery, and can deliver the batteries to your designated address in time.

  • 20. Can you guarantee an exact delivery date?

    Perhaps.
     However, this will be an approximate date/time of delivery.
     During transportation, there are many uncertainties and force majeure factors,such as customs inspection, weather, aircraft maintenance, etc.
     Therefore, we can only provide an approximate date/time of delivery.

With the popularization of new energy, raw materials will be applied to various fields, 
 
the export and import of lithium batteries will become more and more extensive.


At the same time, we also know that the export of lithium batteries 
has very strict requirements, 
 
especially shipping lithium batteries by air.


If the lithium battery is not treated with DG during transportation 
 
(DG means dangerous cargo, they must go through special environment and treatment)
 
 
will greatly increase the risk of transportation.


If it is not a regular export battery,Seriously, it may lead to accidents or disasters.

In China, there will be many battery freight forwarders, 
 
 
which also makes very difficult to find a suitable battery forwarder.
 
So when choosing battery freight forwarder, 
 
I suggest you can refer to the following reference:
 
Company scale

If a battery shipping company has more than 100 employees and has been 
 
operating for more than 10 years, then this company will be trustworthy than others.


Designated agent of the airline
 
Most freight forwarding companies are not qualified enough to directly 
 
cooperate with shipping companies,
 
but adopt indirect cooperation methods.
 
 
.
 
Only some powerful freight forwarders can directly cooperate 
 
with some shipping companies.

So it will also lead to a price gap. 
 
 
Generally speaking, powerful battery freight forwarders 
 
are easier to book space and get affordable prices,
 
which will also guaranteed transportation quality.


Among so many freight forwarding companies, 
 
we are one of the most competitive battery freight forwarding companies.



We have focused on transporting lithium batteries over 15 years,
 
which has professional team and formal transportation channels. 
 
 
We can ensure the safety and giving the most competitive price 
during battery transportation.
 
 
Here are the reasons why we are the most trusted battery freight forwarder:


1.Transportation logistics certification

We have more than 15 years of experience in shipping battery goods 
 
by air,sea and express,has a number of transportation logistics certification 
in airline and sea transport


2.Affordable price

We have build up the cooperation with shipping company directly,
 
there are many shipping routes for lithium batteries,we can get the most affordable 
 
shipping price and have many transportation routes to choose from.
 
 
 
 
 
3.Professional shipping battery team

In air and sea transportation, we have professional transportation team
 
of more than 300 people, when shipping battery, we can provide you with the
 
best service and the most professional transportation and choose 
the best shipping line for you.


4.Professional hazardous warehouse storage

We have government-approved warehouses for storing lithium batteries to ensure
 
the safety of goods.
 
And there are professional warehouse personnel to review the lithium battery packaging


5.Multiple lithium battery transportation channels

We have a variety of lithium battery transportation channels with sea,air and express.
 
We can not only transport the lithium batteries to the port, but also to the door.
 
Including:
 
 
1.EXW
 
EX Works also called EXW,after the production of the goods is completed,

The buyer needs to contact the freight forwarder to pick up the goods 
 
where the production of the goods is completed.
 
 
2.FOB
 
Fob means free on board,the buyer and the seller agree to deliver at the 
designated port of shipment.

and we can help buyer to book shipping space,the suppliers need to send the goods
to our designated shipping port.
 
 
3.CIF
 
Cost,Insurance and Freight,the supplier’s responsibility is to take sea freight, 
 
insurance, and various local charges at the port of departure.

When the goods are arrived at the destination port,

The buyer need to pay the fees of destination port,
 
pay taxes,complete customs clearance and then pick up the goods to the 
 
warehouse or other address.
 
 
 
 
Chapter 2:Shipping battery by air requirement
 
As we all know, the transportation of lithium batteries 
 
has strict requirements and restrictions,
 
especially the battery packaging problems.
 
 
There are many things we need to pay attention,
 
if the packaging can not properly handled, 
 
batteries will not exported successfully and there are great safety risks exist.


In most cases,when battery package importing from China,
 
we need to put a class 9 label,dangerous goods label, 
 
or an Cargo Aircraft label on the box.
 
 
In different ways of transport, the specific packaging requirements 
 
can be referred to below:
 
 
  Lithium batteries packs are classified as Class 9 dangerous good
 
  Shipping lithium batteries must pass the UN38.3 test

  Shipping lithium batteries must provide the MSDS report

  All damaged batteries are forbidden to transport

  The package need to apply Class 9 label and lithium battery mark

  When shipping lithium battery by air,need the Cargo Aircraft label

  Lithium batteries should be loaded on pallets to avoid strong vibration during handling
 
 
 
Air freight can only accept pallet packaging, not accept other package

If the battery goods are packed in cartons, they need to be replaced with pallets.

when shipping by air,the package needs to be neat and tidy,
 
and there must be no damage on the packaging.


The last step is to post relevant dangerous goods labels, such as cargo aircraft labels,
 
then the battery goods can be successfully transported by air.


Of course,minimum shipping standard for batteries is 100kg,
 
if the cargo is less than 100kg, 
 
it will also be charged according to the weight of 100kg.
 
 
 
 
 
Chapter 4:Air Freight Shipping Service Details
 

Our battery shipping process contains a lot of service details. 

 

Whether you are familiar with international shipping or not, 

 

you only need to deliver the goods to us, and leave the rest to us.

 

Let's see that.

 

 

 

1.Customs, product classification, and paperwork

 

Batteries are hazardous goods. 

 

Air transportation of batteries not only requires qualified qualifications, 

 

but also rich experience and diversified channels.

 

We have been engaged in the battery freight forwarding business for a long time, 

 

and now we have been in the business for more than 15 years.

 

Over the years, we have accumulated a wealth of experience in the 

use of batteries for air transportation.

 

 

 

I have to say that this kind of experience is of great significance for us to ensure 

 

that we provide customers with efficient and professional shipping services.

 

 

The best part is that our company has a professional team familiar with 

customs rules and regulations.

 

 

Paperwork is an essential part of the cargo transportation process. 

 

 

We are familiar with battery import tariffs in most countries 

 

and provide product classification, paperwork and tariff consulting services.

 

 

For who are not engaged in freight forwarding business, most people do not know 

 

the entire process of cargo transportation.

 

 

 

They sometimes have questions about certain aspects of cargo transportation,

 

In order to solve these problem,we provide customers with free consulting services.

 

 

We attach great importance to each customer's question, 

 

because we believe that this is a necessary link before transportation 

 

to eliminate customers' worries.

 

 

 

2. Pick up service

 

We focus on every detail of the supply chain, 

 

including before the goods arrive at our warehouse.

 

In addition to transportation services, we can provide customers with pick up services. 

 

As long as you need, we will arrange the driver to pick up the goods for you at any time.

 

 

 

 

 

We can verify the weight, size and packaging of the goods for you. 

 

The pick-up staff will take photos or videos to ensure that the goods are in your operation.

 

 

3. Door to door delivery service

 

Air freight door-to-door service is the choice of more and more customers.

 

Therefore, we have cooperative agents in almost all countries and 

 

can provide you with back-end delivery services.

 

 

In most countries, we have cooperative agents who can provide 

you with door-to-door service.

 

 

First of all, when the air transported batteries arrive at the airport, 

 

our customs clearance agent will accurately declare and clear customs based on

 

the information provided by the customer. 

 

 

At the same time, provide documents to the customs to verify the relevant tariffs.

 

If it is the DDP trade clause, we will pay customs duties for you 

and give the tax bill to the consignee.

 

 

Secondly, after customs clearance and tax payment are completed, 

 

we will arrange vehicles and staff to pick up the goods at the airport and verify 

 

whether the goods are damaged.

 

 

You can rest assured that we have professional hazardous goods trucks 

 

and equipped with professional transfer tools to ensure that your goods 

 

will not be damaged during the delivery process.

 

 

Whether your goods are lithium batteries, lead-acid batteries, 

 

energy storage systems, etc., 

 

 

we will be equipped with different and professional vehicles for delivery.

 

Finally, we will make an appointment with the customer in advance for the delivery time.

 

 

After the goods are transported to the customer's designated address, 

 

we will check whether to provide the customer with unloading services 

according to the customer's terms of service.

 

 

If your terms do not include unloading services, it does not matter. 

 

When the goods arrive at your designated address, 

 

you can communicate with the truck driver about additional unloading services. 

 

 

Of course, this will incur an actual expense.

 

 

 

 

4. Goods insurance

 

In the process of international transportation, there are many uncertain factors, 

 

including weather, aircraft failure, etc., which may cause damage or loss of cargo.

 

 

In this case, we always require customers to buy insurance during air transportation. 

 

In addition, batteries are high-value goods, and insurance is even more necessary.

 

 

You can rest assured that we have cooperation with insurance companies 

and can provide you with lower insurance rates.

 

 

If you have a large quantity of goods, we will provide a more favorable insurance rate, 

 

and the amount of insurance compensation can be insured 

according to your requirements.

 

 

 

5. Provide air waybill timely

 

We are well aware that the air waybill is not only the basis for customs clearance 

 

and delivery, but also the basis for you to track the goods.

 

 

The air waybill is the basis for transportation. 

 

You can check the status of your parcel based on the air waybill.

 

At the same time, we will also provide the status of the shipping package 

of different airlines. 

 

 

So that you can know the shipping status of the package.

 

 

Before sending out the air waybill, 

 

we will give you a copy of the bill of lading for verification.

 

In any case, we will provide you with the air waybill on time to ensure that 

 

you can track your goods at any time.

 

 

6.Duty in advance

 

We have a professional team that is very familiar with international trade rules, 

 

and we have cooperative agents in most countries.

 

 

 

Not only can it provide customers with assistance in customs clearance 

 

and consulting services, but also provide customers with tariff prepayment services.

 

 

Can I receive the tariff bill or voucher paid by you?

 

 

Absolutely okay. 

 

All our tax payment procedures are based on the legal requirements of the destination

 

to ensure that your goods are properly declared throughout the entire process.

 

 

We are familiar with battery tariffs in most countries, and we can serve you better.

 

 

If you have other questions about tariff prepayment, 

 

you can consult on the website at any time.

 

 

Chapter 5:Advantage of shipping by air
 
1.Time
When shipping batteries by air,it will take less time than sea transport,
such as the voyage from China to major ports in Europe is about 30 days,
and it takes about 35 days to reach the Port of Los Angeles in the United States.

 
We have cooperated with PO, RU, SU and other airlines for more than 15 years.
and have an absolute advantage in booking space with major airlines 
and can provide charter services.
 
It only takes one day for the battery goods to be shipped 
from Shenzhen Baoan Airport to Los Angeles Airport,
and 1-2 days shipping battery from Hongkong to to Amsterdam airport in the Netherlands.
Some airports require transshipent. 
 
Generally speaking, it takes less than 3 days for goods to reach most European airports
from China
 

2.Safe and reliable  
 
As we all know,the process of air freight is much stricter than other ways of transportation.
 
 
After the cargo is loaded on the plane, 
 
it is difficult to cause damage to the cargo when shipping by air,
 
so the damage situation will greatly reduced.
