3802.90.50.00 - Other 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 3802.90.50.00, encompasses "Other" activated products not specifically listed under previous headings within Chapter 3802. It pertains to miscellaneous chemical products that have undergone activation processes, rendering them highly porous and suitable for adsorption purposes. This broad category serves as a residual classification for activated materials that do not fall into more specific subheadings.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its siblings. HTS Code 3802.90.10.00 specifically covers bone black, which is a type of animal black derived from calcined bones. Similarly, HTS Code 3802.90.20.00 is reserved for activated clays and activated earths, such as bentonite or Fuller's earth, which are naturally occurring mineral products subjected to activation. This "Other" category, therefore, applies to activated materials that are not derived from bone or are not specifically identified as activated clays or earths.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within HTS Code 3802.90.50.00. Classification into this subheading requires a thorough examination of the activated product's origin, composition, and manufacturing process to confirm that it does not meet the criteria for any more specific HTS classification within Chapter 3802. Practical classification will rely on product specifications, chemical analyses, and intended use to differentiate from excluded items.
