Difluorosulfonimide lithium dangerous goods declaration of the whole process of export
Lithium difluorosulfonimide (LiFSI), as a high-performance electrolyte additive and electrolyte, is widely used in lithium batteries, supercapacitors and other fields. Its excellent electrochemical properties and thermal stability make it an important part of the field of new energy materials. Due to its corrosive properties, lithium difluorosulfonimide is classified as a major danger category 8 and a secondary danger category 6.1 (corrosive solid, toxic, not otherwise specified, UN2923), which has strict requirements and specifications for its maritime export operation. In this paper, Sungreen Logistics will focus on the maritime export operation of difluorosulfonimide lithium, from the aspects of dangerous goods declaration data, transportation and storage requirements and common operation misunderstandings, and suggest collection.

| Transport and storage requirements for lithium difluorosulfonimide

1. Storage requirements

The storage environment should be kept dry, ventilated and within a temperature range of 2-8°C to reduce the risk of corrosion and chemical reactions. In addition, the storage warehouse must be equipped with anti-corrosion facilities, and it is recommended to store it under the protection of inert gases (such as nitrogen) to prevent adverse reactions with oxygen or moisture in the air. At the same time, the storage area should be clearly marked with warning signs.

2. Transportation needs

Because lithium difluorosulfonimide is a corrosive substance, the packaging must use corrosion resistant packaging that meets international standards, such as steel drums or plastic drums lined with plastic bags, to ensure that the packaging is well sealed. On the outside of the package, the label of 8 dangerous goods, the UN number (UN2923) and the correct shipping name should be clearly marked. And shall not be mixed with Class 4 dangerous goods (flammable solids) to avoid chemical reactions.

| Easy to step pit in lithium difluorosulfonimide export operation

Just recently, a Baozi contacted us, saying that he had encountered problems in the operation of exporting lithium difluorosulfonimide, and hoped that we could help him solve the current problem. To this end, Shun Xin logistics listed several of the most easy to step on the pit.

1. Delay in filing

Dangerous goods declaration should be carried out in advance. It is generally recommended to complete the preparation and submission of all declaration materials at least one week before the shipment date to avoid the shipment delay caused by incomplete information or failure to pass the audit. At the same time, it is necessary to pay close attention to the audit progress of the declaration system and timely deal with the problems arising in the audit process.

2. Booking time is tight

Dangerous goods booking is often more complicated than ordinary goods, need more time in advance (generally recommended at least two weeks in advance) to communicate with the dangerous goods forwarder and confirm the shipping space, in order to avoid the shortage of shipping space caused by the export obstruction.
