HS-6 · Subheading
850760
Electric accumulators; lithium-ion, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)
Heading 8507 — Electric accumulators, including separators therefor; whether or not rectangular (including square)
Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 850760 when importing or exporting lithium-ion electric accumulators, such as those found in smartphones or electric vehicles. These batteries are essential for powering a range of electronic devices and applications.
This code specifically covers lithium-ion accumulators, distinguishing them from other types of batteries like lead-acid or nickel-cadmium. If you’re dealing with a battery that is not lithium-ion, you’ll need to look at different HS codes under the same heading.
The 8507 heading narrows the focus to electric accumulators, which are rechargeable batteries. If you have accumulators that are not lithium-ion, you would classify them under different subheadings, such as 850760 for lithium-ion or 850780 for other types.
When shipping lithium-ion batteries, be aware of packaging regulations and safety requirements, especially for air transport. Proper labeling and documentation are crucial to comply with international shipping standards.
