8507.10.00.60 - Exceeding 6 kg in weight

This HTS category, 8507.10.00.60, specifically classifies lead-acid storage batteries designed for starting piston engines that exceed 6 kilograms in weight. These are typically robust batteries found in automotive, heavy machinery, and some marine applications, where a higher capacity and power output are required for engine ignition. The classification hinges on the battery's total weight, serving as a key physical differentiator for customs purposes.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 8507.10.00.30, by the weight criterion. While both cover lead-acid batteries used for starting piston engines, the sibling category applies to those not exceeding 6 kilograms, generally representing smaller or lighter-duty applications. The 6 kg threshold therefore serves as a clear demarcation for the type and scale of the battery being imported or exported.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 8507.10.00.60 is definitive for lead-acid storage batteries meeting the application and weight requirements, and further breakdown is not provided at this level. The focus remains on the explicit definition of lead-acid type, engine starting application, and exceeding 6 kg in weight for accurate tariff determination.
