Main Destination Airports in Turkey

• Istanbul Airport (IST) – primary international cargo hub and the most common destination
• Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) – serves Istanbul’s Asian side and regional distribution

Export Options from China

Mainland China Departure Airports

Power bank air freight can be exported from major air cargo hubs in Mainland China:

• Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN)
• Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport (SZX)
• Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG)
• Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK)

For Mainland China export, compliance requirements are strict. Required documents include:

• MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet)
• UN38.3 Test Report
• Air Transport DG Identification Report

All shipments must follow IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) for packaging and labeling standards.

Hong Kong Export Route

Hong Kong provides a more flexible export channel for power bank air freight to Turkey.

Main departure airport:

• Hong Kong International Airport (HKG)

Compared with Mainland China routing, Hong Kong typically offers:

• Fewer airline documentation restrictions
• Greater acceptance flexibility for battery cargo
• Faster routing confirmation and flight availability

We also support clients with battery documentation preparation to ensure compliance with airline and DG requirements.

Packaging and Compliance Requirements

Power bank products are classified as standard battery cargo (≤100Wh) under air transport regulations. Despite being consumer electronics, they are treated as regulated cargo in aviation logistics.

Key compliance requirements include:

• Proper inner cushioning to prevent movement during transport
• Strong outer cartons meeting IATA packing instructions
• Clear labeling and DG marking
• Valid UN38.3 test documentation for air acceptance

Non-compliant packaging is one of the most common reasons for airline rejection.

Power Bank Packing — We Handle It

Packing a power bank for air is not just “put it in a box.” Cells must be insulated, the 9-class label and UN3480 mark must be correct, and the SOC proof must be on file.

We publish a dedicated guide here: Power Bank Packaging Guidelines.

If you prefer not to handle it yourself, batteryshipping.com also offers repacking and labeling service​ — we can receive your goods, repack to PI965 standard, apply all marks, and hand over to the airline. You don’t need to worry about the packing layer.

Airport-to-Airport Shipping Structure

Power bank air freight from China to Turkey is operated strictly as an airport-to-airport service.

This means:

• Export handling takes place at origin airport in China or Hong Kong
• Import clearance is completed at Turkish destination airport
• Receiver must have customs clearance capability or a local customs broker

Typical shipment thresholds include:

• Minimum chargeable weight: 45kg
• Some carriers apply a 100kg threshold depending on route and airline policy

Consolidation may be required for smaller shipments.

Flight Restrictions and Carrier Limitations

Due to the nature of lithium-based cargo, most passenger aircraft and combi aircraft do not accept power bank shipments.

As a result:

• Transport is primarily handled by full freighter aircraft only
• Available routes and schedules are limited
• Airline acceptance policies may change frequently

This makes route selection and booking confirmation a critical part of the shipping process.
