2812.19.00 - Other

This category, HTS Code 2812.19.00, encompasses a variety of inorganic chlorides and chloride oxides of nonmetals that are not specifically enumerated in the preceding subheadings of 2812.1. It falls under the broader classification of halides and halide oxides of nonmetals, within Chapter 28 which deals with inorganic chemicals. Therefore, goods classified here are chemical compounds that contain chlorine bonded to a nonmetal element, and which are not specifically listed as carbonyl dichloride (phosgene), phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride, or sulfur monochloride.

The distinguishing characteristic of this "Other" category is its residual nature, serving to capture all valid inorganic chlorides and chloride oxides of nonmetals that do not fit into the more specific sibling categories. For example, while 2812.11.00.00 is for phosgene, and 2812.12.00.00 to 2812.14.00.00 cover various phosphorus chlorides, and 2812.15.00.00 covers sulfur monochloride, this subheading will classify other compounds such as arsenic trichloride, which also fits the general description of a chloride of a nonmetal.

The subcategories within 2812.19.00 provide further granularity for specific types of these remaining inorganic chlorides. For instance, 2812.19.00.10 specifically identifies Arsenic trichloride, a compound with distinct applications and properties. The residual subheading 2812.19.00.90 then serves as a final catch-all for any other inorganic chlorides and chloride oxides of nonmetals not otherwise specified within the 2812.10 heading, ensuring comprehensive classification for all relevant chemical substances.
