2822.00.00.10 - Cobalt(II, III) oxide (cobalt tetroxide)

This HTS classification specifically covers Cobalt(II, III) oxide, also commonly known as cobalt tetroxide. This compound is characterized by its specific chemical composition, containing cobalt in both the +2 and +3 oxidation states, and its distinct tetroxide formula. It is a recognized inorganic chemical compound derived from cobalt, fitting within the broader scope of cobalt oxides and hydroxides.

This category is distinguished from its sibling category, 2822.00.00.90, by its precise identification as cobalt tetroxide. The sibling category is a residual provision for all other cobalt oxides and hydroxides that do not meet the specific definition of cobalt(II, III) oxide. Therefore, clear identification of the chemical compound is paramount for correct classification under this heading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 2822.00.00.10 is final for cobalt(II, III) oxide (cobalt tetroxide). Importers and exporters should ensure that the material in question precisely matches the chemical description and properties of cobalt tetroxide to avoid misclassification. Common uses may include pigments, catalysts, or components in battery technology.
