Heading 8548 : Waste and scrap of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators; spent primary cells, spent primary batteries and spent electric accumulators; eletrical parts of machinery or apparatus, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter.
(A) WASTE AND SCRAP OF PRIMARY CELLS, PRIMARY BATTERIES AND ELECTRIC ACCUMULATORS; SPENT PRIMARY CELLS, SPENT PRIMARY BATTERIES AND SPENT ELECTRIC ACCUMULATORS
This heading covers waste and scrap of primary cells, of primary batteries and of electric accumulators, as well as spent primary cells, spent primary batteries and spent electric accumulators, as defined in Note 9 to this Chapter.
These products are generally identifiable as waste obtained during manufacture, or consist of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators which are definitively unusable as such because of breakage, cutting-up, wear or other reasons, or are not capable of being recharged, and scrap thereof.
These products take the form of consignments and generally come from the manufacturers of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators; from scrap merchants who buy waste and scrap from manufacturers; and from merchants who collect and dismantle electric accumulators or collect primary cells and primary batteries.
Consignments from battery manufacturers may consist of positive plates with a few negative plates; negative plates with a few positive plates; a mixture of positive and negative plates in equal proportion; half-assembled elements (e.g., reels made up of a negative plate and a positive plate separated by a fabric separator and coiled). The reels may also be already assembled inside the container. They may also be mixed with defective finished batteries unusable as such.
Consignments from the dismantling or reclamation of old batteries contain a mixture of positive and negative plates, with or without separator, as packs, plates or reels.
Spent primary cells, spent primary batteries and spent electric accumulators are generally intended for processing to recover metals (lead, nickel, cadmium, etc.) metal compounds or slag.
Spent electric accumulators generally have the electrolyte removed and bear signs of wear. (B) ELECTRICAL PARTS OF MACHINERY OR APPARATUS NOT SPECIFIED OR INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS CHAPTER
This heading also includes all electrical parts of machinery or apparatus, other than : (a) Those suitable for use solely or principally with a particular machine or appliance. (b) Parts covered by an earlier heading of this Chapter or which are excluded by Note 1 to Section XVI.
This heading therefore covers articles which are identifiable as electrical parts of machinery or apparatus but not as parts of a particular machine or apparatus, and which incorporate electrical connections, insulated sections, coils, contacts or other specifically electrical elements.
