2825.90.10.00 - Beryllium oxide and hydroxide 🖩

This HTS classification, 2825.90.10.00, specifically covers beryllium oxide and beryllium hydroxide. These are inorganic compounds of beryllium, characterized by their chemical composition and physical properties. Beryllium oxide is known for its high melting point and electrical insulation properties, while beryllium hydroxide is also an inorganic base. Both are distinct from other metal oxides and hydroxides by the presence of the element beryllium.

Within the broader category of "Other inorganic bases; other metal oxides, hydroxides and peroxides," this subcategory distinguishes itself from its siblings such as niobium oxide, tin oxides, tungsten oxides, and cadmium oxide by the specific metal element they contain. Each sibling category is dedicated to oxides or hydroxides of a different specific metal, making the identification of the constituent metal crucial for accurate classification.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 2825.90.10.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies solely on confirming that the imported or exported product is indeed beryllium oxide or beryllium hydroxide, and not any other inorganic compound or oxide/hydroxide of a different metal. Careful attention to the chemical composition and accompanying documentation is paramount for correct entry.
