Frequently asked questions
What is UN 3536 and why does it matter for freight forwarders?+
UN 3536 is the IMDG Code classification covering lithium batteries installed in cargo transport units, such as BESS containers. It differs from UN 3480 and UN 3481, and misclassification is a common source of shipment delays.
Can all shipping lines carry BESS containers?+
No. Some major carriers refuse BESS cargo entirely, and acceptance varies by route and vessel type. The training covers how to navigate this fragmented landscape.
What are the new IMDG UN numbers coming for BESS?+
IMDG Amendment 43-26 introduces new UN numbers, including UN 3558 for damaged or defective lithium batteries and UN 3564 for sodium-ion batteries.
