GENERAL TRADE PRACTICE TO EXPORT- IMPORT RAINS

General trade practice to export-import RAINS is to drain out the free liquid from the batteries prior to stuffing of the containers/ transportation. In case of dry whole intact batteries, as there is absorbed gel in place of free liquid, draining out is not necessary.

The main purpose of this is to avoid the spillage of acid during transportation and handling. However during long period of transportation/ sea journey, some of the entrapped liquid may precipitate which in no case should be more than 5% of weight of battery. For the purpose of acceptance / rejection, the full consignment/ container load shall be considered , not individual pieces. Battery should also be free from the sand/ soil/ dust and any other spurious material or as specified by the buyer
