Full Details

Australia Post restricts lithium batteries. Standalone power banks over 100Wh cannot be sent by post. Batteries under 100Wh contained in devices may be sent via surface mail only, not airmail. All shipments must be properly marked with the lithium battery handling label. Enforcement in Australia carries fines from AUD 330 to AUD 66,000 under Customs Act 1901 s.234 (untrue statements); Biosecurity Act 2015 s.532 (typical personal cases are handled as civil infringements).

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Australia restricts commercial-quantity carriage of Lithium Power Bank; personal-effects carriage is generally permitted with declaration. Keep original purchase receipts, verify the destination-side conformity certification requirements (Australia typically requires manufacturer conformity marks for consumer electronics), and be prepared to demonstrate the device is for personal use. If travelling with more than one high-value unit, declare at the red channel to avoid confiscation.
