Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mercuric oxide content exceeds trace levels
Mercuric oxide primary cells have dedicated subheading due to toxicity concerns.
If mounted in electrical apparatus housing
Batteries integrated into finished electrical equipment classified by apparatus function, not as separate cells.
If sold in bulk as loose components
Unassembled battery components or unfinished cells may qualify under other primary battery parts headings.
