Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the batteries are not sorted by chemical type
This alternative applies to unsorted battery waste, which may be the case if your shipment mixes different battery chemistries.
If the batteries contain lead, cadmium, or mercury
This alternative covers battery waste with hazardous metals, which would require different handling and classification.
Not sure which classification is right?
The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide the CBSA with a detailed manifest showing the batteries are sorted by chemical type and free of lead, cadmium, and mercury
• Since these are from decommissioned satellites, include end-of-life certificates or mission completion documentation to prove they are spent
• Check with the CBSA for any special permits required for importing aerospace-grade battery waste
