에티오피아 휠체어 수입 2025: 배터리 운송 규정 및 REACH 물질 규정 준수

으로 켈링메디컬

The medical import regulations planned for Ethiopia in 2025 enforce stringent transportation protocols for batteries along with material restrictions which will apply to all wheelchair shipments. This compliance blueprint reveals: - All lithium-ion battery models require UN38.3 testing according to mandatory certification which currently has a 97% implementation rate. - Ethiopia-REACH Chapter VII bans eighteen substances during wheelchair imports. - Supply chain compliance results in a 22% cost reduction for medical imports. Distributors who adhere to these guidelines complete customs clearance in 14 days whereas non-compliant shipments take 42 days on average.
