2827.59 - Other:

This HTS category, 2827.59, encompasses bromides and bromide oxides that are not sodium or potassium bromides. While 2827.51 specifically covers bromides of sodium or potassium, this section is for other metallic or non-metallic bromides and their corresponding oxides. The classification hinges on the specific cation bonded to the bromide ion or the nature of the bromide oxide compound.

The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, if a product is identified as a bromide of sodium or potassium, it would fall under 2827.51. This category, 2827.59, is reserved for all other bromide and bromide oxide compounds. This ensures that the tariff schedule correctly distinguishes between commonly traded alkali metal bromides and a broader spectrum of other bromide compounds.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. Subcategory 2827.59.25.00 specifically addresses bromides and bromide oxides of ammonium, calcium, or zinc, recognizing these as distinct groups. The residual "Other" subcategory, 2827.59.51.00, is for any remaining bromides and bromide oxides that do not fit into the more specific ammonium, calcium, or zinc groupings. This hierarchical structure allows for precise identification based on the constituent elements of the bromide compound.
