From January 1, 2026, new requirements will apply to products with lithium-ion batteries that are shipped by air freight. Information about battery compliance must be provided by December 31, 2025. In the future, lithium-ion batteries in products may only have a maximum charge level of 30% to comply with transport regulations.
What do sellers need to consider?
Observe the deadline of December 31, 2025: By this date, all required information about battery compliance must be provided. If you miss this deadline, your products may no longer be shipped by air freight.
Check charge level: Ensure that all lithium-ion batteries in your products have a maximum charge level of 30%. If this value is exceeded, shipping will only be possible by land transport.
Update product information: Regularly check the product information in your Amazon Seller account and update it according to the new requirements. This is crucial to maintain delivery capability and to avoid potential sales losses.
