8111.00.49 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 8111.00.49, encompasses unwrought manganese that does not meet the specific criteria of other sibling categories. As a residual classification, it captures various forms of unwrought manganese that are not explicitly defined elsewhere within the 8111.00 tariff lines. This typically includes forms that are not flake, powder, or other specifically delineated unwrought states, and may represent a broader range of unprocessed manganese metal.

Unlike its sibling category, 8111.00.47, which specifically designates flake manganese containing at least 99.5 percent by weight of the metal, this category serves as a catch-all for unwrought manganese that falls outside such precise material composition or physical form descriptions. The key distinguishing factor lies in the specific product form and the explicit purity requirements of the sibling, leaving this node to cover less precisely defined unwrought manganese.

Within this broader classification, two subcategories further refine the scope. HTS code 8111.00.49.10 pertains to unwrought manganese in powder form, provided it contains at least 99.5 percent by weight of manganese. The remaining unwrought manganese products not otherwise specified, including those that do not meet the purity requirements of the powder subcategory or are not in flake form, are classified under 8111.00.49.90 as "Other." This hierarchical structure allows for granular classification based on form and purity.
