Rechargeable batteries take heading 8507 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule: lead-acid on 8507.10 and 8507.20, nickel-metal hydride on 8507.50, lithium-ion on 8507.60.00, and others on 8507.80. Non-rechargeable cells go to heading 8506 instead. The ordinary rate on lithium-ion is 3.4%. Chinese goods also owe the strategic-goods duty of U.S. note 31, which applies +25% on 8507.60.00 under heading 9903.91.06 and comes on top of ordinary duty. With the 60-economy duty, $10,000 of lithium-ion batteries from China works out at $4,090 (40.9%) here, against $1,250 (12.5%) from South Korea and $1,590 (15.9%) from Vietnam. The line also appears on the Section 232 auto parts list for batteries in vehicles, so select that program when it applies. Rates from 2026 HTS Revision 22, read on November 2, 2026.

Reading the heading
Lines of 8507 are written by chemistry first. A nickel-metal hydride battery on 8507.50 shows 3.4% and List 3: +25% for China, and other accumulators on 8507.80.82 show 3.4% and List 2: +25%. So chemistry changes the additional duty as much as the ordinary rate. Ask the supplier for the data sheet and keep it in the entry file.
| Origin | Duty on $10,000 | Share of value |

| China | $4,090 | 40.9% |
| South Korea | $1,250 | 12.5% |
| Japan | $1,250 | 12.5% |

| Mexico | $1,340 | 13.4% |
| European Union | $1,000 | 10% |
| Any other country | $340 | 3.4% |
The Korea and Japan figures here use the note’s total, which stops at the percentage printed for them.
