UPS Lead-Acid Battery Scrap
Waste lead scrap recovered from lead-acid batteries in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for computers and servers, including positive and negative plates. Classified under HTS 7802.00.00.30 due to its direct origin from lead-acid storage batteries used for electrical storage.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If from lead-acid batteries containing alloys of lead
Statistical notes define alloys of lead (less than 99% lead); scrap from such batteries uses this subheading.
If for sealed lead-acid batteries imported whole
Complete sealed lead-acid accumulators for UPS are under lead-acid battery headings, not scrap.
If contaminated with significant ferrous materials
Heavy iron contamination from battery casings may classify it as ferrous waste and scrap.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide dismantling certificates proving the scrap was obtained solely from lead-acid storage batteries in UPS units
• Ensure packaging prevents acid leakage during transit, with proper hazmat labeling per DOT and IMDG standards
• Monitor for alloy composition; if lead exceeds 99% purity, it may shift to unwrought lead under 7801
