Products classified under Tariff item 8549.13
Sorted Spent Alkaline Manganese Dioxide Batteries
Sorted spent alkaline manganese dioxide batteries, such as used AA/AAA cells, are classified under this tariff item because they are spent primary cells sorted by chemical type (zinc-manganese dioxide) and verified to contain no lead, cadmium, or mercury. These non-rechargeable batteries are rendered unusable through discharge and are destined for recycling or disposal.
8549.13.00Sorted Spent Lithium Manganese Oxide Camera Batteries
Sorted spent lithium manganese oxide camera batteries are covered under this tariff item as they are spent primary cells or accumulators sorted by chemical type (LiMn2O4) and confirmed free of lead, cadmium, and mercury. These exhausted batteries from digital cameras are no longer rechargeable due to internal degradation and are imported for recycling.
8549.13.00Sorted Spent Lithium Polymer Drone Batteries
Sorted spent lithium polymer drone batteries fall under this tariff item because they are spent electric accumulators sorted by chemical type (LiPo) and verified free of lead, cadmium, and mercury. These worn batteries from consumer drones can no longer hold a charge due to cycle fatigue and are imported for recycling or material recovery.
8549.13.00Sorted Spent Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries
Sorted spent lithium thionyl chloride batteries are classified under this tariff item as spent primary cells sorted by chemical type (Li-SOCl2) and confirmed free of lead, cadmium, and mercury. These depleted cylindrical batteries from industrial sensors are non-rechargeable after long-term discharge and are imported for recycling.
8549.13.00Sorted Spent Nickel-Metal Hydride AA Batteries
Sorted spent nickel-metal hydride AA batteries are covered under this tariff item because they are spent electric accumulators sorted by chemical type (NiMH) and verified free of lead, cadmium, and mercury. These depleted rechargeable batteries from household devices cannot be recharged due to internal degradation and are imported for recycling.
8549.13.00Sorted Spent Silver-Oxide Watch Batteries
Sorted spent silver-oxide watch batteries are classified under this tariff item as spent primary cells sorted by chemical type (Ag2O) and confirmed free of lead, cadmium, and mercury. These used button cells from wristwatches lose capacity over time and are imported for recycling, including precious metal recovery.
8549.13.00Sorted Spent Zinc-Air Hearing Aid Batteries
Sorted spent zinc-air hearing aid batteries fall under this tariff item because they are spent primary cells sorted by chemical type (Zn-Air) and verified free of lead, cadmium, and mercury. These exhausted micro batteries from hearing aids degrade quickly after air exposure and are imported for recycling.
8549.13.00Sorted Spent Zinc-Carbon Heavy Duty Batteries
Sorted spent zinc-carbon heavy duty batteries are covered under this tariff item as spent primary cells sorted by chemical type (Leclanché) and confirmed free of lead, cadmium, and mercury. These worn D-cell batteries degrade from leakage and are imported for bulk consumer scrap recycling.
