Vietnam origin · HTS candidates
Power bank import duty from Vietnam
Find US HTS candidates for power bank from Vietnam, then check the current MFN and Chapter 99 stack. Vietnam-origin goods typically avoid Section 301, but AD/CVD and reciprocal rules may still apply.
Quick answer
8507.60.00
At a $10,000 customs value, the current Vietnam-origin total rate is about 3.4% ($340).
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.
Vietnam origin context
Vietnam's lithium battery final-assembly footprint has expanded sharply since 2022, with Pegatron and other Tier-1 EMS suppliers shifting power-bank lines to Hai Phong. Vietnam-origin power banks under HTS 8507.60.00 / 8504.40.95 avoid Section 301 lists. The pinch point: lithium cell origin. If cells are Chinese-made and only packed in Vietnam, CBP can rule the goods China-origin (substantial transformation usually requires cell-to-pack assembly with Vietnam labor + non-trivial value add). Document the cell SKU and Vietnam-side assembly steps thoroughly.

This page provides candidates and reference math, not a CBP ruling. CBP makes the binding classification and duty determination at entry; AD/CVD, exclusions, and product facts still need separate review.

FAQ
How do I find the US HTS code for power bank from Vietnam?
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 Vietnam and China origins.
Does Vietnam origin trigger Section 301?
Typically no. Section 301 (9903.88.x) is China-origin only. If processing in Vietnam does not amount to substantial transformation, CBP can still rule the goods China-origin at entry. AD/CVD, reciprocal, and Section 232 may apply to Vietnam independently.
