Power Charger
Portable chargers or power banks containing a lithium ion battery must be packed in carry-on bags. For more information, see the FAA guidance on portable rechargers.
A Complete Guide Yes, you can ship a power bank internationally, but strict regulations apply due to lithium battery risks. Airlines and couriers require compliant packaging, safety certifications (UN38.3), and hazard labels. Prohibited destinations include Iran, North Korea, and UAE.
March 3, 2025 Staying connected on-the-go is a must, whether you're getting directions to a new restaurant, streaming content or joining meetings. When outlets are limited and a low battery is looming, a reliable power bank is essential while traveling. However, navigating airline regulations and choosing the right capacity can be a challenge.
Watt-hour (Wh) ratings are the most critical factor determining international shipping restrictions for power banks. For air transport, power banks with a watt-hour rating not exceeding 100 Wh are generally permitted with fewer restrictions, often allowed in carry-on baggage on passenger flights.
Power banks must never be placed in checked baggage due to fire risk. They are only allowed in carry-on baggage with strict watt-hour limits: typically ≤100 Wh without prior approval, and 100 Wh to 160 Wh with airline approval. Some airlines may have additional requirements, such as visible labeling of capacity or specific storage instructions.
