Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the battery module is a lithium-ion type rather than nickel-metal hydride.
Lithium-ion batteries are classified under a different tariff item for electric accumulators.
If the battery module is not exclusively for use in electrically-powered vehicles of subheading 8703.80 or 8703.90.
Other NiMH batteries not meeting the specific vehicle-use criterion fall under the residual tariff item.
