6 FAQs about [Tariffs on imported lithium battery packs from South America]
Are lithium-ion batteries exempt from tariffs?
However, lithium-ion batteries are not exempt. On August 1, 2024, lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles imported from China incur a 25% tariff, up from 7.5%. Battery parts from China, including cathodes, anodes, separators, electrolytes, battery management systems, and thermal interface components, are also subject to the 25% tariff.
Will Germany impose a duty-free tariff on lithium-ion batteries in 2025?
This overrides its duty-free access for batteries, unless clarified otherwise. Germany, Poland, and Hungary, all EU members, will see the 10% baseline tariff as of April 5, 2025, increasing to a 20% reciprocal tariff on lithium-ion batteries starting April 9, 2025, stacked on top of the existing 3.4% MFN rate, totaling 23.4%.
When will China impose a 34% reciprocal tariff on lithium-ion batteries?
For China, a 34% reciprocal tariff will apply to all goods, including lithium-ion batteries, starting April 9, 2025, regardless of intended use. This replaces the 10% baseline and adds to existing tariffs.
Does the usjta impose a duty-free tariff on lithium-ion batteries?
The USJTA, signed October 7, 2019, and effective January 1, 2020, previously allowed duty-free entry for lithium-ion batteries from Japan (e.g., from Panasonic), but the new policy imposes the 10% tariff now and the 24% tariff starting April 9, unless exemptions are later clarified.
Does Korea have a tariff on lithium ion batteries?
The U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS), signed June 30, 2007, and effective March 15, 2012, phased out tariffs on lithium-ion batteries by 2017. However, the Executive Order applies the 10% baseline tariff as of April 5, 2025, shifting to a 15% reciprocal tariff on April 9, 2025, suggesting that its duty-free status under KORUS is superseded.
Does Singapore have a tariff on batteries?
Singapore, under the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (signed May 6, 2003, effective January 1, 2004), faces the 10% baseline tariff now, shifting to a 12% reciprocal tariff starting April 9, 2025. This overrides its duty-free access for batteries, unless clarified otherwise.
