3824.50.00.50 - Other

This HTS category, 3824.50.00.50, encompasses "Other" nonrefractory mortars and concretes. It serves as a residual classification for such preparations when they do not fit into the more specific "Wet" category at the same level. These are typically dry, cementitious mixtures designed for construction and repair purposes, which harden upon the addition of water but are not specifically formulated or packaged in a wet state at the time of importation.

The distinction from the sibling category, 3824.50.00.10 ("Wet"), is crucial. The "Wet" classification is reserved for nonrefractory mortars and concretes that are already mixed with water or other liquids, forming a paste or slurry ready for immediate application. Category 3824.50.00.50, therefore, applies to products that are dry and require the addition of water by the end-user to achieve their workable consistency, such as bagged concrete mixes, dry mortar mixes for tiling or masonry, and certain patching compounds in powder form.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 3824.50.00.50. Classification within this heading relies on the physical state of the product (dry) and its intended use as a nonrefractory mortar or concrete preparation, provided it is not classifiable elsewhere in the Harmonized System.
