We recommend saving this guide so you can quickly reference it when preparing quotes or reconciling invoices next time!

Five ASEAN countries have tightened air‑freight regulations for lithium batteries—what exactly has changed? This article explains it all.

Effective August 1, 2026, five Southeast Asian countries—Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines—have jointly implemented new air‑freight regulations for lithium batteries. Less than a month after these rules took effect, many freight forwarders and international traders have already encountered issues such as cargo detention, flight rejections, and customs clearance delays. Today, Huijietong will walk you through exactly what has changed, which types of goods are restricted, how to complete the required declarations, and what packaging standards apply—helping you arrange shipments in full compliance with the new requirements.

Why is the freight for a special container so much higher than that of a standard container?

If you’re involved in exporting large-scale equipment, steel structures, or construction machinery, you’ve probably encountered this dilemma: Even when shipping on the same route with roughly the same transit time, the rates for standard 20GP or 40HQ containers are quite affordable. But as soon as you switch to open-top (OT) or flat-rack (FR) containers, the costs shoot up dramatically. Many people’s first reaction is: “Are freight forwarders just skimming off the top again?” To be honest, that’s not the case. The price difference between specialized containers and standard ones largely stems from higher handling costs, greater labor requirements, and increased risk exposure—far beyond just higher freight charges. Today, Huijietong will break down exactly where these additional costs are going.
