About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 8507.50.00.00, specifically covers nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) storage batteries. These rechargeable batteries are characterized by their use of nickel oxyhydroxide as the positive electrode material and a hydrogen-absorbing alloy as the negative electrode material. NiMH batteries are widely utilized in portable electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage systems due to their higher energy density compared to older nickel-cadmium technologies.

It is crucial to distinguish NiMH batteries from other storage batteries within heading 8507. For instance, lead-acid batteries (8507.10 and 8507.20) employ lead plates and sulfuric acid. Nickel-cadmium batteries (8507.30) use cadmium as the negative electrode material, which often leads to a memory effect not typically found in NiMH technology. Furthermore, lithium-ion batteries (8507.60.00) represent a distinct chemistry, utilizing lithium ions for charge transfer and offering even higher energy density and lighter weight.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification, 8507.50.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification hinges on the definitive identification of the battery's chemistry as nickel-metal hydride. Classification decisions will rely on manufacturer specifications, technical documentation, and physical examination to confirm the presence of nickel oxyhydroxide and hydrogen-absorbing alloy electrodes as the primary active materials.
