Overview
This HTS category, 2813.90.20.00, specifically covers chemical compounds that are sulfides of nonmetals, excluding those primarily composed of arsenic. The defining characteristic of goods classified here is their phosphorus content, differentiating them from other non-sulfide compounds. This subcategory focuses on phosphorus-based compounds that are not otherwise specified or classified within more specific headings of Chapter 28.
The primary distinction for 2813.90.20.00 lies in its phosphorus-centric composition. It directly contrasts with its sibling, 2813.90.10.00, which is exclusively for arsenic sulfides. The other sibling, 2813.90.50.00, serves as a residual category for any remaining nonmetal sulfides not covered by the arsenic or phosphorus-specific subheadings. Therefore, classification into 2813.90.20.00 relies on the affirmative identification of phosphorus as the key nonmetallic element in the sulfide compound.
As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Consequently, the focus for accurate classification within 2813.90.20.00 is on understanding the precise chemical composition and ensuring the product is indeed a phosphorus-based nonmetal sulfide, not an arsenic sulfide, and not falling under any other residual "other" category for nonmetal sulfides. Examples of products that might fall here could include specific phosphorus polysulfides or other less common phosphorus-sulfur compounds not readily found in more general classifications.
