Simple rules for batteries, magnets, and electronics. Updated: 24 Oct 2025.

Language:

✅ Allowed (no hazard fee) ⚠️ Allowed (may incur handling fee) ❌ Not allowed by air

✅ Allowed (no hazard fee)

Phones

Built‑in battery ≤100 Wh. One or two per box is fine.

Tablets

iPad/Galaxy Tab; 1–2 per box usually no fee.

Laptops

1–2 units per box typically OK.

PlayStation (console only)

Tiny button cell only. OK by air.

PlayStation + 1–2 controllers

Small batteries in controllers; usually no fee.

Nintendo Switch / Steam Deck

OK by air. Keep quantities per box low.

Cameras / GoPro

Battery installed only. Do not include loose spares.

Watches / PC motherboards

Button cells are fine.

Desktop PCs / monitors

Allowed — no big batteries.

Fridge magnets / small magnets

OK by air (within threshold).

⚠️ Allowed (may incur handling fee)

PlayStation + 3+ controllers

May need lithium battery marking ⇒ handling fee may apply.

Cordless power tools

≤100 Wh packs (e.g., 18 V×5 Ah=90 Wh) usually OK; multiple packs/units can add a fee.

Drones (battery installed)

OK by air, but no spare loose drone batteries. Extra checks possible.

Magnetised material within limits

May need declaration/shielding ⇒ handling fee may apply.

Dyson‑type stick vacuums

Many packs are >100 Wh. Some airlines won’t accept; sea may be easier.

❌ Not allowed by air (send by sea instead)

Loose lithium batteries & power banks

Not accepted by air. Remove or send by sea.

Damaged/defective/recalled batteries

Never accepted by air.

Large e‑bike/e‑scooter/vehicle packs

Typically exceed limits for air transport.

Bulk/strong magnets over threshold

If field remains high after packaging, air is not permitted.

10‑second rule of thumb

If it switches on without a cord and is bigger than a phone, expect checks. One or two items are usually fine; many items or big batteries can mean a handling fee — or send by sea.

Watt‑hour (Wh) quick math

Wh = V × Ah. Phones ≈ 10–15 Wh. Laptops ≈ 40–100 Wh. Tool packs can exceed 100 Wh.

Summary only. Rules change and airline/operator variations apply. We’ll confirm your item before dispatch. Read full policy.

Mga Phone

Naka‑built‑in na baterya ≤100 Wh. 1–2 per box OK.

Tablets

iPad/Galaxy Tab; 1–2 per box kadalasan OK.

Laptops

1–2 units per box kadalasan OK.

PlayStation (console lang)

May maliit na button cell lang. OK by air.

PlayStation + 1–2 controllers

Maliit na baterya sa controllers; kadalasan walang fee.

Nintendo Switch / Steam Deck

OK by air. Limitahan ang dami kada box.

Cameras / GoPro

Naka‑install ang baterya. Huwag mag‑include ng loose spares.

Watches / PC motherboards

Button cells OK.

Desktop PC / monitor

Pwede — walang malaking battery.

Fridge magnets / maliliit na magnet

OK by air (basta pasok sa threshold).

⚠️ Pwede (puwedeng may handling fee)

PlayStation + 3+ controllers

Puwedeng kailangan ng lithium marking ⇒ may handling fee.

Cordless power tools

≤100 Wh packs (hal. 18 V×5 Ah=90 Wh) kadalasan OK; maraming packs/unit ⇒ posibleng may fee.

Drones (naka‑install ang baterya)

OK by air, pero walang loose drone batteries. Maaaring may extra checks.

Magnetised material na pasok sa limit

Maaaring kailangan ng declaration/shielding ⇒ may handling fee.

Dyson‑type stick vacuums

Maraming packs >100 Wh. May airlines na hindi tumatanggap; baka mas ok sa sea.

❌ Bawal by air (ipadala via sea)

Loose lithium batteries & power banks

Hindi tinatanggap by air. Alisin o ipadala via sea.

Damaged/defective/recalled batteries

Hindi tinatanggap by air kailanman.

Malalaking e‑bike/e‑scooter/vehicle packs

Kadalasang lampas sa limit ng air transport.

Malalakas na magnet (lampas sa threshold)

Kung mataas pa rin ang field matapos i‑pack, bawal sa air.

10‑second rule of thumb

Kung umaandar nang walang kuryente at mas malaki sa phone, asahan ang checks. 1–2 items kadalasan OK; madami o malalaking battery ⇒ posibleng may handling fee — o ipadala via sea.

Watt‑hour (Wh) quick math

Wh = V × Ah. Phones ≈ 10–15 Wh. Laptops ≈ 40–100 Wh. Tool packs puwedeng >100 Wh.
