Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If alloyed with other metals
Lithium alloys exceed purity threshold for 2805, moving to Chapter 74 copper alloys or similar.
If cut into battery anode discs
Pre-cut anode shapes for batteries classify as carbon electrodes under Chapter 85.
If in aqueous solution
Dissolved lithium compounds fall under sodium hydroxide and similar subchapter II headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide material safety data sheets (MSDS) detailing reactivity with water; DOT requires Class 4.3 packaging
• Confirm thickness under 6mm to maintain 'unwrought' status; thicker sheets risk classification as plate
• Check end-use declarations to prevent diversion to restricted nuclear applications under export controls
