China origin · HTS candidates
Power bank import duty from China
Estimate US import duty for lithium power banks from China and review battery-related HTS candidates.
Quick answer
8507.60.00
At a $10,000 customs value, the current China-origin total rate is about 35.9% ($3,590).
Classification risk & HTS split
Lithium-ion power banks fall under HTS 8507.60.00 (lithium-ion accumulators) when classified as the battery, or 8504.40.95 (static converters) when the product's essential character is the charging circuit. Most retail power banks classify as 8507.60.00 with no MFN base rate (Free) — the Section 301 China overlay (+25% under 9903.88.03) becomes the dominant cost. UN 38.3 lithium battery test certification is non-negotiable for air freight; sea freight requires IMDG Class 9 declaration.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for power bank from China?
Start from the product name or local HS code, anchor on HS6, then compare US HTS candidate descriptions. Power bank can split after HS6 by material, use, construction, or function; the applicable Chapter 99 overlays differ between China and China origins.
Does China origin trigger Section 301?
Yes. Section 301 (9903.88.x) stacks on top of MFN for China-origin goods; the active subheading list is maintained by USTR.
