2712.90.20.00 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 2712.90.20.00, covers "Other" mineral waxes and similar products obtained by synthesis or other processes, which are not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 2712. This broad classification is for mineral waxes that do not fit into more specific descriptions within this heading, encompassing a wide range of derived or synthesized waxy substances.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2712.90.10.00, is crucial. While 2712.90.10.00 specifically enumerates "Montan wax," this "Other" category is for all other mineral waxes not falling under that specific designation. It captures a variety of mineral-derived waxy materials that may have undergone synthesis or other transformative processes, beyond the natural or chemically modified properties of Montan wax.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code requires a thorough examination of the product's composition, origin, and processing to ensure it is indeed a mineral wax or similar product not covered by any other more specific HTS code within heading 2712. This includes products like synthetic waxes with similar physical and chemical properties to natural mineral waxes, or other mineral-derived waxy substances not explicitly named.
