2812.90.00 - Other

This category encompasses halides and halide oxides of nonmetals that do not fall under the more specific heading for chlorides and chloride oxides. It is important to note that "nonmetals" generally refers to elements that lack metallic properties, such as sulfur, phosphorus, nitrogen, and halogens themselves when not in their elemental form or as part of a chloride compound. Therefore, this heading would cover compounds like bromides, iodides, fluorides, and their respective oxides, where the nonmetal component is bonded to a halogen or an oxygen atom, and the compound is not a chloride.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Chlorides and chloride oxides," is straightforward. The sibling category is exclusively for compounds where chlorine is the halogen present or where oxygen is bonded to a nonmetal and chlorine. This current category, however, is for analogous compounds where the halogen is bromine, iodine, or fluorine, or for halide oxides where the halogen is not chlorine.

Within this "Other" classification, we find further subdivisions to provide greater specificity for imported and exported goods. Subcategories exist for "Sulfur hexafluoride," a specific and widely recognized nonmetal halide compound with unique industrial applications. The remaining products within this broader category are then grouped under "Other," signifying a residual classification for all other nonmetal halides and halide oxides that do not meet the specific criteria for sulfur hexafluoride or the sibling chloride category.
