HS Code 8507.60 – Electric accumulators; lithium-ion, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)
HS code 8507.60 is the 6-digit subheading for electric accumulators, lithium-ion, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square). It is used for smartphone batteries, laptop batteries, electric vehicle battery packs, power tool batteries and E-bike batteries.
What HS 8507.60 covers
This HS code covers lithium-ion (Li-ion) electric accumulators, which are at the forefront of the global energy storage market due to their high energy density, light weight, and excellent cycle life. These rechargeable batteries are critical components in virtually all modern portable electronic devices, electric vehicles (EVs), and increasingly in grid-scale energy storage systems. The international trade in Li-ion batteries is massive and rapidly expanding, driven by the electrification of transport and the proliferation of smart devices. Major importers include automotive giants, consumer electronics manufacturers, and renewable energy developers, while exporters are predominantly East Asian nations with advanced battery manufacturing capabilities, making this a highly strategic and competitive global market.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
