Dangerous Goods Approval for Spare Batteries and Fuel

In plain language

While batteries and fuel powering your drone do not need approval, carrying spare batteries or extra fuel as cargo requires a dangerous goods approval from the CAA.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ states that carrying additional spare batteries or fuel not contained within the aircraft's fuel tanks is considered cargo and requires a dangerous goods approval.
