Alternative Classifications

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

8506.30.10.00Same rate: 37.7%

If alkaline chemistry instead of silver oxide

Alkaline primary button cells fall under silver oxide subheading only for actual silver oxide electrolyte systems.

8506.50.00Same rate: 37.7%

If volume exceeds 300 cm³

Larger silver oxide primary cells are classified by size threshold regardless of button/coin form factor.

8507.60.00Higher: 53.4% vs 37.7%

If marketed as rechargeable

Secondary/rechargeable lithium button cells go to Chapter 85 heading 8507, not primary cell heading 8506.

Import Tips & Compliance

Verify battery volume does not exceed 300 cm³ and confirm silver oxide chemistry via material safety data sheets

Include UN38.3 test reports for lithium-free primary cells; label with proper shipping names per DOT/IATA regulations

Avoid misclassification as rechargeable cells (8507.60) which have different duty rates and testing requirements
