HS code for Lithium-ion power bank 20000 mAh
HS 2022Destination USConfidence 0.88Electric accumulators, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square) > Lithium-ion
Section XVI: Machinery and mechanical appliances; electrical equipment; parts thereof, sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Chapter 85: Electrical machinery and equipment and parts thereof; sound recorders and reproducers, television image and sound recorders and reproducers, and parts and accessories of such articles · Heading 8507: Electric accumulators, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square)
Why this code
The product is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack whose function is to store and supply electrical energy, which describes an electric accumulator in heading 8507. Chapter 85 Note 3 says accumulators include ancillary components that store or supply energy or protect the cell, such as connectors, protection circuits and part of the housing, so the built-in protection circuit and USB ports do not move it out of 8507. The chemistry is lithium-ion, which selects subheading 850760 over the residual 850780. Static converter 850440 is rejected because voltage conversion is ancillary to the storage function. Heading 8513 is rejected because no lamp function is stated. Heading 8504 and 8471 are not principal functions.
Rules applied: GRI 1, GRI 6, Chapter 85 Note 3.
Alternatives considered
| Code | Description | Why not |
|---|---|---|
| 8504.40 | Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors > Static converters | Static converter; the USB output regulates voltage only as an ancillary function, while the principal function is energy storage. |
| 8507.80 | Electric accumulators, including separators therefor, whether or not rectangular (including square) > Other accumulators | Residual accumulator subheading; applies only when the chemistry is not lithium-ion, and the product is lithium-ion. |
| 8513.10 | Portable electric lamps designed to function by their own source of energy (for example, dry batteries, accumulators, magnetos), other than lighting equipment of heading 8512 > Lamps | Portable lamp; applies only if the pack is essentially a torch with an integrated lamp, which is not stated. |
Information that would confirm the code
- Does the pack include an integrated LED torch or lamp as a significant feature?

Other > Other
Confidence 0.60. The power bank is a lithium-ion accumulator used to recharge USB devices, not a vehicle traction battery (8507600010), and it is not a battery energy storage system of statistical note 2 type (8507600030) since it is a portable consumer power bank, so the residual Other line applies with moderate confidence given unspecified details.
