Products classified under HTS 8549.19.00.00
Spent AA Alkaline Batteries
Used AA-sized alkaline primary batteries that are no longer capable of providing power due to chemical depletion and internal wear. These fall under HTS 8549.19.00.00 as spent primary cells that cannot be recharged or used as such, destined for recycling to recover materials like zinc and manganese.
Used Lithium Primary Coin Cells
Depleted lithium manganese dioxide coin cells (e.g., CR2032) from devices like watches and calculators, incapable of further discharge. Classified in HTS 8549.19.00.00 as spent primary cells unfit for use due to exhaustion, intended for precious metal recovery.
Depleted Zinc-Carbon D Batteries
Exhausted D-cell zinc-carbon primary batteries from heavy-duty applications like flashlights, no longer functional due to electrolyte depletion. HTS 8549.19.00.00 applies to these spent primary cells for scrap recycling.
Spent Button Cell Batteries Assortment
Collection of used silver oxide and alkaline button cells from hearing aids and remotes, broken down and non-rechargeable. These spent primary cells under HTS 8549.19.00.00 are imported for dismantling and metal reclamation.
Used 9V Alkaline Primary Batteries
Worn-out 9-volt rectangular alkaline batteries from smoke detectors and toys, incapable of use due to wear. HTS 8549.19.00.00 covers these as other spent primary cells for environmental recycling.
Exhausted Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries
Spent non-rechargeable lithium thionyl chloride cylindrical cells from industrial sensors, depleted and hazardous. Classified as spent primary cells in HTS 8549.19.00.00 for specialized recycling.
Depleted Zinc-Air Hearing Aid Batteries
Used miniature zinc-air primary batteries from hearing aids, activated but now inert due to oxygen depletion. HTS 8549.19.00.00 for these tiny spent cells targeted for zinc recovery.
