Join George Kerchner for this session on Knowing the rules and dangers of transporting batteries. If you ship batteries and other technology products this session is a must for you to attend. Shipping regulations, intended to protect against hazards, are different for air, land and sea, international and domestic transportation. These regulations have often been regarded as complex and difficult to understand for many shippers. To complicate matters even more, as of April 2016, when shipped alone, Lithium-ion power banks carry more stringent shipping regulations than in the past. Learn first-hand what your obligations are under these complex regulations as we attempt to break it all down in plain language. This session is an elective for the Product Safety Aware program.
