2820.90.00.00 - Other 🖩

This classification, "Other," within the heading for Manganese oxides, serves as a residual category. It encompasses manganese oxides that do not specifically fall under the more precise classification of manganese dioxide (2820.10.00.00). Therefore, it broadly covers various forms and compounds of manganese oxides that possess chemical or physical characteristics distinct from pure manganese dioxide, or that are not primarily traded or identified as such.

The key differentiator between this category and its sibling, 2820.10.00.00, lies in the specific chemical composition and intended application. While manganese dioxide is a well-defined compound often utilized for its oxidizing properties in batteries, ceramics, and chemical synthesis, this "Other" category would include other oxides of manganese, such as manganese tetroxide (Mn3O4) or manganese monoxide (MnO), or mixtures of manganese oxides where manganese dioxide is not the predominant or defining component. Classification here would depend on the precise chemical analysis and common trade understanding of the product.

As this is a terminal node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of goods under 2820.90.00.00 relies on a careful evaluation of the specific manganese oxide product presented, ensuring it is not classifiable as manganese dioxide and fits the general description of manganese oxides within Chapter 28. Exporters and importers should be prepared to provide detailed chemical specifications and proof of the product's composition to customs authorities.
