HS code for a lithium battery

Lithium batteries are the classic high-risk classification: the code is only the start — dangerous-goods rules, test summaries, and shipping mode restrictions follow immediately.

Example product

Rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, 36 V / 10 Ah, for e-bikes

Rechargeable lithium-ion accumulators commonly fall in the 8507.60 family. Batteries installed in equipment classify with the equipment; packed-with or shipped-alone batteries carry different dangerous-goods provisions (UN3480/UN3481). Always review before filing.
