U.S. import duty on lithium-ion batteries (HTS 8507.60.00), by country of origin
HTS 8507.60.00: Lithium-ion accumulators (tariff text: "Lithium-ion batteries"). The base rate is 3.4%; the Chapter 99 measures in force bring the total to between 3.4% (United Kingdom; 3.4% to 13.4% depending on the answers) and 53.4% (China; 40.9% to 53.4% depending on the answers) across the 20 largest sources of U.S. imports.
Total duty by country
Countries with the same duty layers are grouped. Default assumptions: no trade-agreement preference claimed, no special use.
United Kingdom: 3.4% (3.4% to 13.4% depending on the questions below)
- Base rate 3.4% (column 1 general)
- applies; not priced: U.S. note 33(j) lists this subheading for the United Kingdom under a statistical reporting number that the current schedule no longer prints. The rate is either 10 percent in total (heading 9903.94.32, if the article is still treated as listed) or an additional 25 percent (heading 9903.94.05). Confirm the treatment with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Section 232: passenger vehicles, light trucks and parts, heading
9903.94.05. The article is a United Kingdom product in a subheading that note 33(j) lists under a statistical reporting number the schedule no longer prints (8507.60.0020, 8707.10.0040, 8708.29.5160 or 8708.80.1600), so the code cannot tell whether heading 9903.94.32 (10 percent in total) or heading 9903.94.05 (an additional 25 percent) applies. It is shown under heading 9903.94.05; other programs treat the article as an automobile part in either case. (U.S. note 33(j) to subchapter III of chapter 99)

Of the 20 countries compared, United Kingdom at 3.4% (3.4% to 13.4% depending on the answers), with default assumptions (no trade-agreement preference claimed). Origin follows where the goods are made under customs rules of origin, not where they ship from.
