2620.99.10.00 - Containing mainly vanadium

This HTS classification covers residues and ash, not originating from iron or steel manufacture, that contain metals or their compounds, and specifically those where vanadium is the principal metal present by weight. This category is distinguished from its siblings by the dominant presence of vanadium. For instance, HTS code 2620.99.20.00 would apply to similar residues where tungsten is the primary metal. Similarly, classifications for nickel content (2620.99.30.00) and titanium-rich slag (2620.99.50.00) are separate, as are general "other materials" (2620.99.75) and residual "other" (2620.99.85.00) categories that do not meet the specific criteria of being mainly vanadium-containing.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within 2620.99.10.00. The classification criteria for this code are solely based on the material being slag, ash, or residue (excluding those from iron and steel production), and the predominant metal being vanadium. Practical classification will involve determining the elemental composition of the material to confirm vanadium's principal status. Examples of such goods could include spent catalysts, refining residues, or industrial by-products where vanadium has been recovered or is present as a significant component.
