2841.70.50.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 2841.70.50.00, encompasses "Other" molybdates that do not fall under the preceding subheadings. Specifically, it covers molybdic acid salts not specified as ammonium molybdates. These compounds are derived from molybdic acid and can include salts formed with various cations, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, or other metallic and non-metallic bases, excluding ammonium. Their chemical composition and intended use are key to their classification here.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2841.70.10.00, by the exclusion of ammonium molybdates. While both fall under the broader category of molybdates, the specific cation forming the salt is the defining characteristic at this level. Therefore, any molybdate salt where the cation is *not* ammonium would be classified under 2841.70.50.00.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 2841.70.50.00 relies on confirming that the product is indeed a molybdate salt and that it is not specifically enumerated under any other existing subheading, particularly the sibling category for ammonium molybdates. Examples of goods that would fall here include sodium molybdate and potassium molybdate, which have various industrial applications, including as corrosion inhibitors and in the production of pigments.
