2827.39.60.00 - Of cobalt 🖩

This HTS classification, 2827.39.60.00, specifically designates other chlorides that are composed of cobalt. This category encompasses various cobalt-based chloride compounds, distinct from other metallic chlorides, that do not fall under more specific subheadings within the broader classification of "Other chlorides." These cobalt chlorides are typically inorganic chemical substances used in a range of industrial applications, such as catalysts, pigments, and in the production of batteries and alloys.

The distinction of this category is its exclusive focus on cobalt. Unlike sibling categories such as those for vanadium (2827.39.10.00), tin (2827.39.25.00), or titanium (2827.39.30.00), the defining characteristic here is the presence and primary composition of cobalt. While all fall under the umbrella of "Other chlorides," the specific metallic element present dictates their unique classification and, consequently, their potential import duties and regulations.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to delineate. Therefore, the primary focus for classification into 2827.39.60.00 rests on confirming that the chloride in question is indeed a cobalt compound and that it does not fit any more specific, preceding HTS codes. Practical considerations for classification would involve analyzing the chemical composition and verifying its identity as a cobalt chloride.
