Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unprocessed battery scrap
Intact or partially dismantled batteries remain electrical waste in Chapter 85.
If refined into nickel matte
Intermediate smelted products like matte are unwrought nickel under Chapter 75.
If under 10% nickel content
Lower nickel residues fall into the residual 'other' subheading in 2620.99.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include battery recycling facility certification to prove industrial non-waste status
• Test for hazardous contaminants; clean slag only under 2620, contaminated may need special handling
