Heading 8506 — Cells and batteries; primary
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 850630 when importing or exporting primary batteries made with mercuric oxide. These batteries are commonly found in small electronic devices like hearing aids and watches, where reliable power is essential.
This code specifically applies to mercuric oxide batteries, distinguishing them from other primary batteries like alkaline or lithium types, which fall under different HS codes. Understanding these differences is crucial for accurate classification.
When dealing with HS-6 850630, note that it covers batteries that utilize mercuric oxide as the main active material. This is different from HS-6 850640, which pertains to other types of primary batteries, such as those containing zinc or manganese.
If you're unsure about the specific type of battery, check the packaging or product specifications to confirm the active materials used. This will help ensure you select the correct HS code for your shipment.
