Last updated: May 2026 dataImports of storage batteries not elsewhere specified under Chapter 85 face significant Section 301 tariff exposure, particularly for goods originating from China, which dominates supply under this heading. Vietnam is the second-ranked source, reflecting ongoing manufacturing diversification in the battery sector. The US schedule breaks this heading into three 10-digit lines: general storage batteries (8507800100), batteries serving as electric power sources for electric and hybrid vehicles under headings 8703.40–8703.80 (8507804100), and a residual electric storage battery line (8507808200) — a distinction that matters for both duty treatment and end-use documentation.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Tariff line 8507804100 specifically covers storage batteries serving as the electric power source for vehicles classified under HTS headings 8703.40 through 8703.80 (electric and plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles). All other storage batteries not elsewhere specified fall under 8507800100 or 8507808200. Correct classification depends on the battery's intended end-use and the vehicle heading it powers, so documentation from the manufacturer is critical.
Yes. Storage batteries imported from China are generally subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the base MFN duty rate. Importers should verify the applicable Section 301 list and any exclusions with a licensed customs broker, as coverage and exclusion status can change.
