8507.60.00.10 - Of a kind used as the primary source of electrical power for electrically powered vehicles of subheadings 8703.40, 8703.50, 8703.60, 8703.70 or 8703.80

This HTS subheading specifically classifies lithium-ion batteries designed as the primary power source for certain types of electrically powered vehicles. These vehicles are identified by their inclusion in subheadings 8703.40, 8703.50, 8703.60, 8703.70, or 8703.80, which generally cover passenger motor vehicles, including those powered exclusively or primarily by electricity. The key differentiator for this classification is the intended end-use as the main electrical power supply for these specific electric vehicle models.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8507.60.00.20, which covers "Other" lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, if a lithium-ion battery is not intended as the primary power source for the aforementioned electric vehicle types, it would fall under the "Other" category. The crucial factor for classification here is the battery's dedicated role and suitability as the principal energy provider for the specified electric automotive applications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this subheading is determined solely by the battery's type (lithium-ion) and its explicit designation as the primary power source for the electric vehicles referenced in the related subheadings. Importers and exporters should ensure that documentation clearly supports the intended application of the battery to justify classification under this specific provision.
