A shipment of lithium-ion battery entering the United States from India is classified under HTS code 8507.60.00 and pays 28.4% total import duty on its customs value. That is the 3.4% normal (MFN) rate plus Reciprocal tariff, which is a separate heading in Chapter 99 of the tariff schedule. The duty is worked out on the customs value of the goods, which is normally what you paid for them; freight, insurance, customs brokerage and any merchandise processing fee come on top and are not included in the figure above.

8507.60.00 appears in the Section 232 automobile parts list (U.S. note 33(g)), but the schedule text does not tie it to vehicles. If the article really is a part of a passenger vehicle or light truck, heading 9903.94.05 adds 25%.
