2812.90.00.90 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 2812.90.00.90, encompasses "Other" halides and halide oxides of nonmetals that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 2812. This heading generally deals with volatile halogens and their compounds with nonmetals. The products falling under this "Other" category are thus defined by their exclusion from more specific subheadings, requiring careful consideration of their chemical composition and properties to ensure correct classification.

To differentiate this category from its sibling, 2812.90.00.10, it is crucial to note that sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is explicitly classified under the latter. Therefore, any halide or halide oxide of a nonmetal that is *not* sulfur hexafluoride would generally fall under this residual "Other" classification, provided it meets the broader criteria of heading 2812. This distinction hinges on the specific elemental composition and the resulting chemical identity of the compound.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 2812.90.00.90 is the final step for these specific chemical compounds. Importers and exporters should rely on detailed chemical analysis and product specifications to confirm that a nonmetal halide or halide oxide does not fall under any more specific subheading within heading 2812, and if not, then it correctly resides within this "Other" classification.
