Battery Classification & Duty Information
Based on your input "BATTERY", here's a breakdown of potential HS codes and associated duties, drawing from the provided reference data. It's crucial to determine the specific type of battery for accurate classification.
Here's a categorized list, with explanations to help you pinpoint the correct code:
-
1. Primary Cells & Batteries (Non-Rechargeable): These are single-use batteries.
- 8506.10.00.10: Manganese Dioxide Button and Coin Cell Batteries. This code specifically covers small, button-shaped batteries commonly used in watches, hearing aids, and small electronics. 8506 indicates "Primary cells, primary batteries, parts thereof". 10 specifies manganese dioxide chemistry and button/coin cell form.
- Duty: 2.7% Base Tariff + 25.0% Additional Tariff (until April 2, 2025), increasing to 30% Additional Tariff after that date. Total: 57.7%
- 8506.80.00.10: Other Primary Cells and Primary Batteries Button and Coin Cell Batteries. This covers primary button/coin cells not made of manganese dioxide. 8506 indicates "Primary cells, primary batteries, parts thereof". 80 specifies other primary cells.
- Duty: 2.7% Base Tariff + 25.0% Additional Tariff (until April 2, 2025), increasing to 30% Additional Tariff after that date. Total: 57.7%
- 8506.10.00.10: Manganese Dioxide Button and Coin Cell Batteries. This code specifically covers small, button-shaped batteries commonly used in watches, hearing aids, and small electronics. 8506 indicates "Primary cells, primary batteries, parts thereof". 10 specifies manganese dioxide chemistry and button/coin cell form.

2. Electric Storage Batteries (Rechargeable): These are batteries designed to be recharged and reused.
- 8507.10.00.30: Lead-Acid Storage Batteries, of a kind used for starting piston engines 12 V batteries: Not exceeding 6 kg in weight. This code is for lead-acid car batteries (starter batteries). 8507 indicates "Electric storage batteries, including separators therefor". 10 specifies lead-acid chemistry.
- Duty: 3.5% Base Tariff + 25.0% Additional Tariff (until April 2, 2025), increasing to 30% Additional Tariff after that date. Total: 58.5%
- 8507.60.00.10: Lithium-ion batteries Of a kind used as the primary source of electrical power for electrically powered vehicles of subheadings 8703.40, 8703.50, 8703.60, 8703.70 or 8703.80. This code is specifically for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles (EVs, e-bikes, etc.). 8507 indicates "Electric storage batteries, including separators therefor". 60 specifies lithium-ion chemistry.
- Duty: 3.4% Base Tariff + 0.0% Additional Tariff (until April 2, 2025), increasing to 30% Additional Tariff after that date. Total: 33.4%
- 8507.10.00.30: Lead-Acid Storage Batteries, of a kind used for starting piston engines 12 V batteries: Not exceeding 6 kg in weight. This code is for lead-acid car batteries (starter batteries). 8507 indicates "Electric storage batteries, including separators therefor". 10 specifies lead-acid chemistry.
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Battery Chemistry: The type of chemical composition (Lithium-ion, Lead-Acid, Manganese Dioxide, Nickel-Metal Hydride, etc.) is the most critical factor in determining the correct HS code.
- Application: Is the battery for a vehicle, a portable device, or another application? This can narrow down the options.
- Weight & Voltage: For lead-acid batteries, weight and voltage are important specifications.
- Rechargeable vs. Non-Rechargeable: This is a fundamental distinction.
- Vehicle Use: If the battery is for an electric vehicle, confirm the vehicle subheading (8703.40, 8703.50, etc.) to ensure correct classification.
- Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): Review the MSDS for the battery to confirm its chemical composition and any specific hazards.
- Invoice Details: Ensure your commercial invoice clearly specifies the battery type, chemistry, voltage, weight, and application.
Next Steps:
Please provide more details about the battery you are importing (chemistry, application, voltage, weight) so I can help you identify the most accurate HS code. Also, be prepared to provide documentation (MSDS, invoice) to support your classification.
