This dataset presents information concerning 8- and 10-digit trade codes related to the rechargeable lithium-ion battery (LIB) supply chain for the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the European Union, and the United States as classified by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rulings. Note that this dataset is not intended to be a complete or comprehensive list of trade codes for the LIB supply chain; rather, it presents trade codes from the PRC and the EU that more granularly classify products related to LIB supply chain in comparison to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). CBP rulings are included to indicate existing classification decisions for relevant products related to the LIB supply chain. Disaggregated trade codes offer more detailed insight into trade flows, supply chains, and the state of domestic and international industries. The dataset covers raw materials, refined and processed materials, battery materials, cell components, batteries and battery components, end-of-life batteries, and machinery. Tariff line information was assembled through conversations with experts and reviews of supply chain process flows in concert with an examination of trade databases, domestic trade documentation, and primary international customs import and export tariff documents.
