2620.60.10.00 - Of a kind used only for the extraction of arsenic or the manufacture of its chemical compounds 🖩

This HTS category, 2620.60.10.00, specifically covers slag, ash, and residues that contain arsenic and are intended for particular uses. The defining characteristic for classification under this subheading is that these materials are of a kind used exclusively for the extraction of arsenic itself, or for the manufacturing of chemical compounds derived from arsenic. This implies a specific industrial purpose and chemical composition that dictates their utility.

The crucial distinction between this subheading and its sibling category, 2620.60.90.00, lies in their intended application. While sibling categories likely encompass other slag, ash, and residues containing arsenic or related metals not specifically designated for arsenic extraction or compound manufacture, this subheading is narrowly focused on materials with a direct role in these arsenic-centric industrial processes. The "only for" clause in the description is key to differentiating these two.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 2620.60.10.00 relies entirely on identifying slag, ash, or residues that meet the stringent criteria of being utilized solely for the extraction of arsenic or the production of its chemical compounds. Customs officials will look for evidence of this specific industrial purpose to accurately classify goods under this subheading.
