Lithium batteries for Stockholm go out of Lianyungang, where the MSA simplified 'new three' filings in 2024. On the way they face a Suez-or-Cape voyage that ends with the Danish straits and the Baltic, and they arrive at the port of Stockholm.

Sweden has required producer registration with Naturvårdsverket since January 2026. The 5 points below are particular to this lane; each comes with what we do and the paperwork it touches.

What we need to start

  • Break-bulk ESS guide
  • Fog season Apr–Jul
  • Swedish-language safety information
  • Consignee EORI
  • EU declaration of conformity

Route profile

The Lianyungang → Stockholm route in brief

Origin port

Lianyungang

Jiangsu's Yellow Sea port, with a simplified document list for 'new three' cargo since 2024 and its own guide for energy-storage units on break-bulk ships.

Import country

Sweden

Naturvårdsverket registration under Ordinance 2025:813 since 1 January 2026, plus EU duties from CE marking to ADR on the road leg.

Where this route gets difficult

Where Lianyungang → Stockholm shipments get held up: 5 points

Listed from loading in Lianyungang to import into Sweden, each with what we do about it.

  1. Origin port

    Energy storage on break-bulk ships: Lianyungang's own rules

    Lianyungang MSA's June 2025 guide for ESS on break-bulk ships treats ESS cabinets as UN3480 and ESS containers as UN3536, recommends a remaining charge of 20–50%, and requires converters and monitoring to be powered off, series and parallel circuits disconnected, packages evenly spread with a low centre of gravity, and a safety meeting before the ship arrives.

    What Anxin does: For ESS units we confirm the UN number the unit ships under, get the state of charge and isolation steps in writing from the manufacturer, and join the pre-arrival safety meeting with the stowage details.

  2. Sea corridor

    EU emissions trading now covers the whole inbound voyage share

    Ships of 5,000 GT and above calling at EU ports, Stockholm included, are in the EU Emissions Trading System: 50% of the emissions of a voyage from China are covered, and the share of emissions for which lines must surrender allowances rises from 70% (for 2025 emissions) to 100% from 2027. Carriers can pass that cost on as a surcharge.

    What Anxin does: We ask for the emissions surcharge to be shown as its own line in the quote, with the basis the carrier uses, so that successive quotes can be compared like for like.

  3. Import country

    Swedish producer register at Naturvårdsverket

    Since 1 January 2026 battery producers in Sweden must be registered with Naturvårdsverket under the supplementary ordinance SFS 2025:813. Producer responsibility organisations such as El-Kretsen can assist with the filing, though the producer stays responsible for the data.

    What Anxin does: We ask the Swedish importer to confirm the registration is in place before booking, and pass on battery chemistry and weight data it may need for reporting.

  4. Import country

    Battery label from August 2026, QR code from February 2027

    The Battery Regulation's general information label applies from 18 August 2026 (or 18 months after the label implementing act, if later), and every battery needs a QR code from 18 February 2027, linked to a battery passport for EV, LMT and industrial batteries above 2 kWh. Where the battery is too small, both go on the packaging and accompanying documents.

    What Anxin does: Before booking we ask the Sweden importer to confirm the battery category and whether the label and QR-code elements are already on the goods, and compare carton photos with that answer.

  5. Import country

    Substance limits for portable batteries

    For portable batteries, Annex I sets maximum levels of 0.0005 % mercury, 0.002 % cadmium and 0.01 % lead by weight, the lead limit applying since 18 August 2024. The importer in Sweden may be asked by market surveillance to demonstrate compliance.

    What Anxin does: We ask the manufacturer for its substance declaration or test report reference and file it with the shipping documents for the Sweden importer; we do not test batteries.

  • Customs packaging use-appraisal result for the dangerous goods packaging (with the maker's performance appraisal)
  • Container packing certificate signed by a certified packing inspector after supervised stuffing
  • Transport-condition classification report where applicable
  • Load plan showing even weight distribution (no more than 60% of the cargo weight in either half of the container length)

Before you book

Send the file once, complete

Most delays on this route start with a document that exists but does not match: a UN number, a model name or a package count that differs between the Lianyungang filings, the carrier booking and the Sweden import file. We check the three against each other before the booking is confirmed.

Carriers we book with

Our booking panel; availability on this lane and acceptance of the declared UN numbers are confirmed for each booking. It does not mean that a listed carrier runs a direct service on this route. Carrier choice depends on the trade lane, cargo classification and each carrier's dangerous-goods acceptance at booking. The final carrier is confirmed on the booking.

Questions

Common questions on the Lianyungang → Stockholm route

The CE marking on the battery and the manufacturer's EU declaration of conformity, which must be available in the language Sweden requires. Both have applied since 18 August 2024.

Often, but it depends on the service. The Baltic is reached through the Danish straits, and we ask the carrier to name any transhipment port and confirm DG acceptance for each vessel.

Its June 2025 break-bulk ESS guide recommends 20–50% remaining charge, with converters and monitoring off and circuits disconnected.
