China to Brazil Battery-Powered Liquid Shipping: Safe & Compliant Logistics Solution

Client Background

A Brazilian e-commerce startup needed to ship 120 units of rechargeable aromatherapy diffusers (with built-in lithium batteries + essential oil cartridges) from Shenzhen to São Paulo.

Key challenges:

Mixed hazardous goods: Lithium batteries (UN3480) + flammable liquids (UN1993)

Small-but-sensitive: Total weight 68kg (3 boxes)

Regulatory maze: Brazil’s ANATEL (batteries) + ANVISA (liquids) requirements

Budget: Under $1,500 for door-to-door delivery

Our Tailored Solution

Phase 1: Compliance First

We initiated a dual-certification process:

1. Battery Compliance:

Tested each diffuser’s 2000mAh Li-ion battery against UN38.3 standards

Prepared ANATEL certification paperwork in Portuguese

2. Liquid Compliance:

Verified oil cartridges’ flash points (>60°C)

Pre-registered products with ANVISA as "non-medicinal aromatherapy liquids"

Phase 2: Smart Packaging

Battery Safety:

✓ Each diffuser packed with 1.5cm shock-absorbent foam

✓ Battery terminals covered with non-conductive tape

Liquid Security:

✓ Cartridges sealed in zip-lock bags + absorbent pads

✓ Outer boxes marked with dual hazard labels (Class 9 + Class 3)
