3818.00.00.95 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," under code 3818.00.00.95, encompasses chemical elements and compounds doped for use in electronics, specifically when presented in disc, wafer, or similar forms, that are not otherwise classified under preceding subheadings. This broad residual category serves as a catch-all for specialized semiconductor materials that fit the general description of doped electronic materials but do not conform to the more specific categories for gallium arsenide, polycrystalline silicon, or silicon carbide wafers.

The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the precise material composition. While 3818.00.00.10 specifically covers doped gallium arsenide wafers, 3818.00.00.20 addresses doped polycrystalline silicon wafers, and 3818.00.00.30 pertains to doped silicon carbide wafers, this "Other" category applies to all other doped electronic materials in wafer or disc form. For instance, if a specialized doped compound, such as indium phosphide or a custom-alloyed silicon, is presented in the specified form for electronic applications, it would fall under this classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification decision for goods falling under 3818.00.00.95 relies on a thorough analysis of the material composition and its intended use in electronic applications, ensuring it is indeed a doped chemical element or compound in a wafer or disc form and is not explicitly covered by the preceding, more specific subheadings.
