Overview
This classification, HTS Code 2620.40.00.30, specifically covers vanadium-bearing materials that fall within the broader category of slag, ash, and residues (other than those from iron or steel manufacturing) which contain arsenic, metals, or their compounds. These materials are characterized by their significant vanadium content, which is a key defining element for their classification under this heading.
This subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 2620.40.00.60 (Other), by its explicit focus on vanadium. While both fall under "slag, ash and residues containing mainly aluminum," the .30 subcategory isolates materials where vanadium is the primary metal or compound of interest from a classification perspective, differentiating them from other types of aluminum-containing residues not specifically identified by their vanadium content.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2620.40.00.30. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the clear identification of vanadium as a principal component within the slag, ash, or residue that also meets the general criteria of Chapter 26, Section V, and the preceding subheadings related to residues containing aluminum. This ensures that materials primarily valued or identified for their vanadium content are correctly categorized.
