2827.39.10.00 - Of vanadium 🖩

This HTS category, 2827.39.10.00, specifically classifies chlorides of vanadium. These compounds are inorganic chemical substances characterized by the presence of both vanadium and chloride ions. They can exist in various forms, including vanadium oxychlorides and simple vanadium chlorides. Their classification under this code is determined by their chemical composition, irrespective of their physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) or degree of purity, provided they are not specifically covered elsewhere in Chapter 28.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, while other codes within 2827.39.00 cover chlorides of metals like tin, titanium, tungsten, barium, and iron, this specific code isolates vanadium compounds. Therefore, if a chloride contains vanadium as its primary metallic component and is not a compound of precious metals, rare-earth metals, or radioactive elements, it will fall under this code and not under the sibling categories designated for other base metals.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. All qualifying vanadium chlorides are directly classified under 2827.39.10.00. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code remains on the definitive presence of vanadium within the chloride compound, ensuring it is differentiated from chlorides of other metals and complex inorganic compounds.
