While the regulatory changes themselves are straightforward, many organizations are now asking the same question:<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What do we need to do before the transition periods end?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If your company ships lithium batteries by ground, air, or sea, now is the time to review your labeling practices and prepare for the upcoming compliance deadlines.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What Has Changed?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The revised lithium battery mark removes the requirement to include a telephone number. The applicable UN number(s) must still appear on the mark.<\/p>\n<p>This change has been adopted across major dangerous goods regulations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>49 CFR (United States)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>IMDG Code<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Transport Canada&#8217;s TDG Regulations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although the requirements are now harmonized, the transition periods are different.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Important Compliance Deadlines<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>United States, Air, and Ocean Shipments<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The previous lithium battery mark with a telephone number may be used until <strong>December 31, 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Beginning <strong>January 1, 2027<\/strong>, the revised lithium battery mark <strong>without<\/strong> a telephone number is required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Canada (TDG Regulations)<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Canada has adopted a separate 12-month transition period.<\/li>\n<li>The previous mark may continue to be used until <strong>June 17, 2027<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Beginning <strong>June 18, 2027<\/strong>, shipments subject to the TDG Regulations must display the revised mark without a telephone number.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Recommended Actions<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>To avoid last-minute compliance issues, organizations should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Review current lithium battery labels in use.<\/li>\n<li>Identify any remaining inventory of legacy labels.<\/li>\n<li>Develop a transition plan before the applicable deadline.<\/li>\n<li>Verify shipping procedures are aligned with current regulations.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure employees understand the updated marking requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Planning ahead helps minimize disruptions, reduce unnecessary waste, and maintain compliance across all modes of transport.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/ICC_LithiumBatteryGuide_Aug2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download the Lithium Battery Mark Transition Guide<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To help organizations prepare, ICC has developed a practical guide that explains:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The regulatory changes at a glance.<\/li>\n<li>The key compliance dates for Canada and international shipments.<\/li>\n<li>Frequently asked questions.<\/li>\n<li>Recommended next steps for transitioning your operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/ICC_LithiumBatteryGuide_Aug2026.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Download the guide<\/strong><\/a> to help your team prepare before the transition deadlines arrive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need Assistance?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every operation is different.
