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
