Alternative Classifications

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

8507.90Lower: 13.4% vs 53.4%

If when imported as battery packs with multiple cells and BMS

Assembled packs with casing, protection circuits, and multiple cells are classified as complete batteries rather than individual cells

8507.10.00Higher: 53.5% vs 53.4%

If misidentified as lead-acid technology

Heading 8507.10 covers lead-acid storage batteries; lithium-ion chemistry specifically falls under 8507.60

8543.70Lower: 12.6% vs 53.4%

If imported as bare lithium-ion electrical modules without battery designation

Other electrical machines/apparatus; true battery cells with anode/cathode electrolyte system remain in 8507

Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain UN38.3 transportation safety certification and include Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for all lithium-ion shipments to comply with DOT/IATA regulations

• Declare exact lithium content (Wh rating) on commercial invoice; misdeclaration leads to CBP holds and penalties

• Verify cell voltage ≤30V and capacity; cells exceeding these may require different classification or special handling
