Import Tips

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

no nickel-cadmium)

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

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