Hi there so sorry if this has been asked before but

I'm buying something with li-ion battery built in (120mAh + 1400mAh, 2 batteries inside)

I'm buying from their official store on taobao

Taobao let's me pick both Air and Sea Shipping

I was just about to checkout but then remembered something about batteries

So, if I pick Air will I encounter trouble?
If I pick Sea should I be fine?

It's a "M5Stack CardPuter" btw for those curious
(And some modules for it, the RF ones)

It was not taobao that let you pick both air and sea shipping. It was seller setting. Sometimes seller didn't set it correctly and we can buy prohibited cross border item. My experience last time was buying shinetsu lubricant. Liquid and gel was a prohibited for air shipping. Many time went through but one time was stuck. Kantoi already.  Luckily seller was nice enough to help me rearrange the shipping to sea shipping. Better use sea shipping.

I see, they probably didnt really deal with international customers much

I picked sea shipping for safety, just in case
currently it's somewhere in the ocean otw

hope customs will not have any issues....
