Industry Signals After the Reduction in Import Tariffs on Black Powder: The Restructuring of the Recycling Value Chain Is Urging PACK Manufacturers to Move “One Kilometer Upstream”
On January 1, 2026, lithium battery the provisional tariff rate for the import of recycled black powder was reduced from 6.5% to 3%, which was officially implemented.. Then, the science and technology department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the draft of "guidelines for the construction of industrial standard system for power battery recycling (2026 edition)" in September, it is proposed that more than 50 national standards will be revised around the power battery recycling industry chain by 2030, covering the whole industry chain and product life cycle of waste power batteries "collection-storage and transportation-physical treatment-chemical treatment"..
Looking at these two policies together, the industrial signal is very clear: recycled materials are moving from "gray zone" to standardization and standardization. The standard system regulates the technical indexes and classification of recycled black powder, and puts forward unified requirements for core indexes such as purity, particle size, proportion of recycled elements of recycled metal salt, recycled precursor and recycled cathode material.. The tariff reduction further broke through the intake vent of compliance black powder. It is worth noting that lithium recycling intermediate products such as waste cell, disassembled black powder, recycled lithium nickel cobalt salt, etc. do not belong to the taxable category of consumption tax, PACK factories that use recycled raw materials to make cores have certain tax burden advantages on the raw materials side..
Dongguan Juneng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has more than 10 years of engineering experience in battery pack structure design, thermal management application and waterproof technology, covering energy storage, industrial equipment, AGV cargo van and other fields. The company's flexible manufacturing system can adapt to the distribution requirements of cell from different sources, and the full inspection and capacity distribution capability in the incoming inspection process enables it to maintain consistent capacity control when the regeneration cell enters the production line. For equipment manufacturers that are evaluating the regeneration cell solution, select a PACK partner that can provide compliance solutions in the three dimensions of cell group allocation, BMS policy, and full process traceability, it is much smarter than just paying attention to the purchase unit price.
