Read what you posted, Chuck! When shipping *lithium-ion* batteries, you are
specifically disallowed from putting a warning label on the box saying it
contains *lithium* batteries. Which is understandable, because lithium-ion
batteries are not lithium batteries, as Mike Lazzari has already pointed
out.

According to the USPS regs just updated in August
<http://pe.usps.com/text/pub52/pub52c6_004.htm#ep260739> you may ship 2
small lithium-ion cells internationally but these cells *must be
installed in equipment*. I suppose other countries may make it stiffer
than that.
But you are also specifically disallowed from putting a warning label on
the box saying it contains lithium batteries. So, who would know?
