Shipping Restrictions

Shipping Restrictions – NEW SUN RACING

At NEW SUN RACING, the safe and legal transportation of our products is a top priority. Due to the nature of certain RC hobby items such as lithium batteries, nitro fuel, and other regulated materials specific shipping restrictions apply. Please review the information below before placing your order.

Lithium Batteries & Devices Containing Lithium Batteries

All Shipments

  • Lithium batteries and products containing them must be properly labeled and packaged for safe transport.
  • Larger lithium batteries may require special handling and must be shipped via UPS as hazardous materials (HAZMAT).
  • For detailed requirements, please refer to the official UPS Lithium Battery Shipping Guidelines.


International Shipments

  • Lithium batteries are regulated as HAZMAT and must be packaged according to strict safety standards.
  • Small quantities may be shipped internationally via UPS without a HAZMAT fee.
  • Shipments containing more than two lithium batteries will incur HAZMAT charges and require appropriate documentation.
  • UPS only ships hazardous materials to select countries, and some destinations may have limited service.
  • The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) prohibits international shipments of lithium batteries and devices containing them. This includes APO, FPO, and DPO addresses. As a result, USPS shipping options will not be available at checkout for these items.


Domestic Shipments

  • Lithium battery shipments are allowed within the U.S. through both UPS and USPS, depending on quantity and battery type.
  • USPS restricts shipments to no more than three lithium batteries per package. For more information, refer to the USPS Domestic Mail Manual.
  • Larger quantities or oversized batteries must be shipped via UPS Ground with appropriate labeling.



Nitro Fuel

  • Nitro fuel is classified as a flammable liquid and is regulated for transportation.
  • Small quantities may be shipped domestically under the ORM-D (Other Regulated Materials – Domestic) classification via UPS Ground only.
  • Larger quantities (such as case-sized orders) require HAZMAT shipping, which includes additional fees and must still be sent via ground service.
  • Nitro fuel cannot be shipped internationally under any circumstances.
  • USPS does not transport flammable liquids. Therefore, USPS will not be shown as a shipping option for these products at checkout.

Certain products sold by NEW SUN RACING are classified as ORM-D and can only be shipped within the United States via UPS Ground. These items cannot be shipped internationally or via USPS.
