8507.30.80.90 - Other

This HTS classification, 8507.30.80.90, covers "Other" nickel-cadmium storage batteries that are not sealed. This category is intended for nickel-cadmium batteries that do not meet the specific criteria for sealed batteries, which are classified under the sibling category 8507.30.80.10. The distinction between sealed and other nickel-cadmium batteries is primarily based on their construction and intended application, with sealed batteries typically being designed for portable electronic devices and requiring no electrolyte replenishment.

Given that this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes within 8507.30.80.90 is on identifying nickel-cadmium storage batteries that are not explicitly sealed. Examples might include larger industrial batteries or those where the casing allows for ventilation or potential addition of electrolyte. Careful examination of the battery's design, casing, and any accompanying documentation will be crucial for accurate classification under this heading.
