Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2825.90Lower: 13.7% vs 35%

If imported as individual metal oxides rather than mixed NCM precursor

Separate lithium, nickel, cobalt, or manganese oxides classify under antimony oxides or other inorganic compounds, not as mixed battery cathode preparations.

8507.60.00Higher: 53.4% vs 35%

If pre-assembled into complete lithium-ion battery cells

Finished battery cells with NCM cathodes move to Chapter 85 electric batteries heading, excluding raw cathode materials.

3824.99Same rate: 35%

If for other inorganic compound mixtures without specific NCM composition

Mixtures lacking the specific lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide formulation fall under the residual chemical mixtures subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain REACH or TSCA pre-registration for cathode precursors; provide detailed chemical composition certificates showing NCM ratios; ensure particle size specs match declaration to avoid reclassification as simple oxides
