Electric Scooter Export Requirements

The following are the core requirements and processes for the export of electric scooters, covering the certification, transportation and compliance points of major markets such as the EU and North America:

**I. Certification requirements for target markets**

1. EU market

CE certification:

Standard: Must comply with EN 17128 (for electric scooters) or EN 14619 (for non-electric scooters), covering mechanical structure, electrical performance, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and safety testing.

Process: Samples must be tested by a third-party testing agency, technical documents (including design drawings, material lists, etc.) must be provided, and a declaration of conformity must be completed after obtaining the test report and the EU official website must be registered.

Key tests: Braking performance (braking distance 2 meters), frame strength (load bearing 100kg), battery safety (EN 62133), etc.

Other requirements:

EU DOC: An EU authorized representative must be designated to provide a declaration of conformity.

Component certification: If the vehicle accessories (such as batteries and motors) do not have independent certification, additional testing is required, which will extend the cycle and cost.

2. North American market

UL 2272 certification:

It is mandatory for electric scooters to pass electrical system safety tests, including battery fire prevention, circuit protection, etc.

– **Factory inspection**: Factory audit is required, and the cycle is about 15 working days.

– **FCC certification**: Ensure that electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and radio frequency radiation meet the standards.

– **CPSC compliance**: It is necessary to comply with the safety standards of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, such as braking performance, structural stability, etc.

– **ASTM standards**: Such as ASTM F2641 (children’s scooters) or ASTM F2264 (adult scooters), involving material strength and durability testing.

3. Other markets

Japan: PSE certification (for lithium batteries) and JIS standard testing are required.

Australia: RCM certification is required (integration of C-Tick and EMC requirements).

**II. Transportation and packaging requirements**

1. Dangerous goods classification

Electric scooters containing lithium batteries belong to UN 3171 (9 categories of dangerous goods), and a dangerous goods package certificate is required (some cases can be exempted, such as providing MSDS and UN38.3 reports).

2. Packing method

Wooden boxes (strong impact resistance) or cartons (lightweight), which must be sealed and moisture-proof, away from fire sources.

3. Sea transportation requirements

AMS declaration: The manifest information (including consignee, consignor, and cargo details) must be submitted 48 hours in advance.

HTS code: The customs tariff code of the declared goods, and the US consignee tax number (TAX ID) must be provided for customs clearance.

**III. General tests and documents**

1. Battery-related tests

UN38.3: Lithium battery transportation safety test (vibration, high and low temperature, short circuit, etc.).

MSDS: Chemical Safety Data Sheet, which must include battery composition and transportation precautions.

2. Transportation Identification Report: Air/sea transport identification certificate is required to confirm packaging compliance.

**Fourth, export process steps**

1. Certification preparation

Select a certification body (such as SGS, TÜV), submit samples and technical documents.

2. Testing and rectification

Complete mechanical, electrical, and safety tests, and adjust the design according to the report.

3. Logistics and customs clearance

Entrust a professional freight forwarder to handle dangerous goods certificates (if necessary), booking and dangerous goods declaration.

Provide complete customs declaration information (invoice, packing list, test report, etc.).

**Five, precautions**

Labels and logos

Products must be affixed with CE/FCC/UL marks, and the packaging must indicate the UN number, dangerous goods category, etc.

State regulations US states may have additional requirements (such as California Prop 65), which need to be checked in advance.

**Summary**

For the export of electric scooters, it is necessary to focus on **target market certification** (such as EU EN 17128, US UL 2272), **lithium battery transportation compliance** (UN38.3, dangerous goods package certificate) and **customs clearance documents** (AMS, HTS codes). It is recommended to cooperate with professional testing institutions and freight forwarders to ensure compliance throughout the process, reduce the risk of return shipment, or consult certification service providers.
