  🟢Self-clearable

  No special import requirement or regime was found in our data. Requirements can still depend on the exact product spec, so re-check once the code is fixed.

• United States
  🟡Take care

  [DOT] Lithium cells/batteries need a UN38.3 test report plus hazmat packaging, marking and documents (49 CFR); air transport adds a 30% state-of-charge cap.

• Taiwan
  🟢Self-clearable

  Classification is contested — rulings for this HS6 scatter across several subheadings and are often decided against neighbouring codes

• China
  🟡Take care

  [GACC/SAMR] China publishes no per-HS import-requirement table (our only per-HS source is the 2020 reference CCC list), so we cannot confirm whether this code carries item-specific requirements. What is always required: a Chinese consignee filed with customs, Chinese labelling for consumer goods, and a check of the statutory inspection catalogue.
