U.S. imports of lithium-ion storage batteries (HS 850760) totaled $1.6B in April 2026, traded with 59 countries.
Importers of Lithium-Ion Storage Batteries paid $308.1M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 21% on $1.5B in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Lithium-Ion Storage Batteries imports of $1.6B in April 2026 ran 23% above the year-to-date monthly average of $1.3B.
Last updated: April 2026 dataLithium-ion rechargeable batteries are the central energy-storage technology for electric vehicles, grid-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS), portable electronics, and power tools. The US schedule reflects this diversity with dedicated lines for EV traction batteries (8507600010), battery energy storage systems meeting Statistical Note 2 criteria (8507600030), and two NESOI lines for other applications (8507600020 and 8507600090). China dominates US supply and is subject to Section 301 tariffs, driving active sourcing diversification toward Japan and South Korea — both of which host major cell manufacturers supplying automotive and industrial customers. Classification between the EV-specific and NESOI lines is a frequent point of CBP scrutiny, as the duty treatment can differ materially.

8507600010 covers lithium-ion batteries used as the primary electrical power source for electric vehicles classified under HTS headings 8703.40 through 8703.80. The battery must be purpose-designed for vehicle propulsion — not merely capable of powering a vehicle. Importers should retain engineering specifications, vehicle-application documentation, and supplier certifications to support this classification at entry.
8507600030 applies to battery energy storage systems meeting the definition in Statistical Note 2 to Chapter 85 — typically large-format, grid-connected or commercial-scale systems integrating cells, a battery management system, and power conversion equipment in a single importable unit. Standard lithium-ion packs or modules not meeting that integrated-system definition fall under the NESOI lines. Importers of utility-scale BESS should review the statistical note carefully and consider a binding ruling if the product's scope is ambiguous.
