What is the UN number for electric vehicle shipping?

Since 31 March 2025, EVs with lithium-ion batteries ship as UN 3556 (Vehicle, lithium ion battery powered); lithium metal battery vehicles are UN 3557 and sodium-ion battery vehicles UN 3558. UN 3171 (Battery-powered vehicle) no longer covers lithium-battery vehicles. All are IMDG Class 9.

What is the battery state-of-charge limit?

From 1 January 2026, vehicles powered by batteries above 100 Wh must be delivered with battery SOC not exceeding 30% of rated capacity, or indicated charge not exceeding 25%. We drain and verify SOC before stuffing and record it in the DG declaration.

How are electric vehicles packed for ocean shipment?

Per IMDG packing instruction P912: the vehicle is secured in a strong outer packaging/crate, the battery must NOT be removed, and other parts may be removed only to fit the packaging. No performance packaging test is required; SP 405 may waive marking and labelling when the vehicle is not fully enclosed.

Do you provide DG certificate for EV shipping?

Yes. SPEED INT-L issues the DG declaration, IMDG packing certificate (P912) and handles the full documentation chain. Under IMDG 42-24, UN 3556 shipments do not require a Chinese dangerous-goods packaging certificate (危包证).

How long does EV shipping from China to Africa take?

35-45 days port-to-port (same as standard FCL). DG cargo may require carrier pre-booking; we coordinate with DG-approved carriers and reserve space in advance.

Can you ship used electric vehicles to Africa?

Yes. Used EV export to Africa is growing (Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda). We handle used EV inspection, battery condition and SOC report, and full DG compliance.
