2825.90.15.00 - Niobium oxide

This HTS category, 2825.90.15.00, specifically covers niobium oxide. Niobium oxide is an inorganic compound used in various applications, including the production of capacitors, optical coatings, and as a catalyst in chemical reactions. Its unique electrical and optical properties make it a specialized material within the broader category of other metal oxides.

It is important to distinguish niobium oxide from its sibling categories. For instance, 2825.90.10.00 pertains to beryllium oxide and hydroxide, which have vastly different chemical properties and applications. Similarly, 2825.90.20.00 classifies tin oxides, and 2825.90.30.00 covers tungsten oxides, each representing distinct metallic elements and their respective oxides with specialized industrial uses. This category focuses exclusively on the oxide of niobium.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for niobium oxide. Classification at this level signifies a specific and final designation for this particular inorganic compound, distinguishing it from other metal oxides based on its elemental composition and resulting properties.
