2620.40.00.60 - Other

This classification, 2620.40.00.60, specifically covers "Other" aluminum-containing slag, ash, and residues, excluding those primarily from the manufacture of iron or steel, and that are not specifically categorized elsewhere within heading 2620.40. These materials are characterized by their significant aluminum content, alongside other metals or their compounds. This broad category is designed to capture aluminum-bearing waste materials that do not fall under more specific classifications within the heading.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 2620.40.00.30, which is reserved for vanadium-bearing materials. While both fall under the umbrella of aluminum-containing residues, this "Other" category is for those where vanadium is not the primary or a significant distinguishing metal for classification purposes. The key differentiator lies in the presence and significance of vanadium; if vanadium is a primary component or a defining characteristic for classification, the material would fall under the vanadium-bearing subcategory.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 2620.40.00.60. Therefore, the classification relies on the definitive presence of aluminum in slag, ash, or residues, along with the absence of specific categorization under other more narrowly defined headings within the same chapter, such as those specifying arsenic, other metals, or particular industrial origins. Classification under this provision necessitates a thorough analysis to confirm that the material meets the general criteria for aluminum-bearing residues and does not fit more specific descriptions.
