2836.99.50.50 - Other

This HTS category, HTS Code 2836.99.50.50, encompasses "Other" carbonates, peroxocarbonates (percarbonates), and commercial ammonium carbonate containing ammonium carbamate that do not fit into more specific subheadings within heading 2836. It represents a residual category for inorganic compounds of this nature when other specific classifications are not applicable. This broad coverage means it can include a variety of chemical salts and compounds used in diverse industrial applications, from water treatment to the manufacture of detergents and other chemical products.

This specific subheading, 2836.99.50.50, distinguishes itself by being the final "Other" designation after more specific types of carbonates have been addressed. For instance, it differs from the sibling category 2836.99.50.10, which exclusively covers zirconium carbonates. Therefore, goods classified here would be carbonates, peroxocarbonates, or ammonium carbamate compounds that are not based on zirconium or any other specifically enumerated metal or compound within this heading.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification under 2836.99.50.50 is final, meaning that any product falling into this description and not fitting into a more precise subheading within heading 2836 is definitively classified here. Classification decisions at this level often rely on detailed chemical analysis and a thorough understanding of the composition and intended use of the imported product to ensure it does not meet the criteria for any preceding, more specific HTS codes.
