2825.90.75.00 - Cadmium oxide

This category, HTS Code 2825.90.75.00, specifically classifies cadmium oxide. Cadmium oxide is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula CdO. It is typically encountered as a reddish or brownish powder and finds applications in various industries, including the production of pigments, ceramics, and as a component in certain types of batteries and electrodes.

Distinguishing this classification from its siblings is crucial for accurate tariff application. For instance, while other categories within 2825.90 cover oxides of beryllium, niobium, tin, and tungsten, this subcategory is exclusively dedicated to cadmium oxide. The presence of cadmium as the primary metal distinguishes it from these other metal oxides, each having its own specific industrial uses and tariff treatments.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification at this level relies on the definitive identification of cadmium oxide as the imported or exported substance. The physical form, purity, and intended use are typically considered when confirming that the product accurately falls under this specific HTS code.
