Alternative Classifications

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

8549.11Lower: 10% vs 37.7%

If classified as spent primary cell waste materials

Notes specify spent (unusable) primary cells under 8549; new cathode sheets remain functional parts.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 37.7%

If imported as unprepared chemical preparations

Raw chemicals without electrode forming process classify as chemical products, not battery parts.

8507.90Lower: 13.4% vs 37.7%

If for lithium-ion rechargeable applications

Cathodes designed for secondary lithium batteries fall under accumulator parts in 8507.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide chemical composition certificates to confirm primary battery materials (e.g

β€’ no nickel-cadmium)

β€’ Ensure packaging labels distinguish from rechargeable battery components to prevent CBP reclassification

β€’ Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; declare based on specialized electrochemical processing value
