About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers lithium, a highly reactive alkali metal, in its pure form or as alloys. As per Chapter 28, which deals with inorganic chemicals, lithium falls under the broader category of alkali or alkaline-earth metals. Its unique chemical properties and reactivity make it distinct from other metals within this chapter, and it is primarily classified here when not an ingredient in a more complex compound or product.

Within the "Other" subcategory (2805.19), this specific code, 2805.19.90.10, isolates pure lithium and its alloys from other "other" alkali metals. Its sibling category, 2805.19.90.90, also falls under "Other" but is reserved for residual alkali metals not otherwise specified. Therefore, careful consideration of the metal's composition is crucial for accurate classification.

As a leaf node, 2805.19.90.10 has no further subdivisions. Classification within this code hinges on the confirmation that the imported material is indeed lithium in its elemental state or an alloy predominantly composed of lithium, not a manufactured article or a compound where lithium plays a secondary role.
