3404.90.51 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 3404.90.51, encompasses "Other" artificial waxes and prepared waxes that do not fall under the specific criteria of containing bleached beeswax (3404.90.10). These are synthetic or semi-synthetic waxes, or mixtures of natural and synthetic waxes, prepared for various industrial or commercial uses. They are distinct from beeswax-based products by the absence of bleached beeswax as a significant component.

The "Other" designation here signifies a broad category for artificial and prepared waxes that lack a more specific classification within the 3404.90.51 heading. This can include a wide array of formulations designed for applications such as polishes, coatings, mold releases, and components in other manufactured goods.

To further refine classification, this subcategory is divided into two subcategories. The first, 3404.90.51.10, specifically addresses waxes derived from chemically modified lignite, providing a distinct classification for this particular raw material. The second, 3404.90.51.50, covers all remaining "Other" artificial waxes and prepared waxes not classified under the chemically modified lignite provision, acting as a residual category for the diverse range of products within the scope of 3404.90.51.
