2825.30.00.50 - Other

This HTS code, 2825.30.00.50, encompasses "Other" inorganic compounds of vanadium that are not specifically classified elsewhere within heading 2825. This broadly includes vanadium oxides and hydroxides that do not fall under the explicit subheading for vanadium pentoxide. Classification under this code typically applies to less common or uniquely formulated vanadium compounds.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 2825.30.00.10, is crucial. The sibling subheading specifically designates vanadium pentoxide (V2O5), also known as vanadium anhydride, a widely recognized and commercially significant compound. Consequently, 2825.30.00.50 is reserved for other forms of vanadium oxides and hydroxides, such as lower oxidation state oxides (e.g., V2O3, V2O4), various hydrated forms, or other mixed vanadium oxide compounds not meeting the specific criteria for vanadium pentoxide.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The practical application of this code relies on a thorough analysis of the chemical composition and form of the imported vanadium compound, ensuring it does not fit the more specific sibling classification of vanadium pentoxide. This ensures accurate tariff application for a range of less frequently encountered vanadium-based inorganic materials.
