3824.99.36.00 - Of vanadium

This classification, HTS 3824.99.36.00, specifically encompasses miscellaneous chemical products and preparations that are *of vanadium*. This category is reserved for mixtures or compounds where vanadium is the primary defining element or component, serving a significant role in the product's chemical nature or intended function. These preparations are not elsewhere specified and fall under the broader umbrella of chemical mixtures of inorganic compounds within Chapter 38.

The distinction from sibling categories is crucial. While other siblings at this level, such as those "Of bismuth" (3824.99.31.00) or "Of molybdenum" (3824.99.34.00), are defined by their primary inorganic constituent, this category isolates products characterized by vanadium. It is important to differentiate these from preparations where vanadium might be present but not the defining element, or from finished goods that utilize vanadium compounds but are classified elsewhere based on their primary function.

As this classification represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this code relies on ensuring the product meets the general criteria of a mixture of inorganic compounds not elsewhere specified and possesses vanadium as its defining characteristic. Examples could include specialized vanadium oxide compounds used in catalysis, or complex inorganic vanadium salts intended for industrial applications.
