8111.00.60.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8111.00.60.00, encompasses manganese and articles manufactured from manganese that do not fit into more specific subheadings within Chapter 81. This "Other" classification acts as a residual category for unwrought manganese and its articles when they are not explicitly defined elsewhere. Items falling under this code are typically characterized by their composition of manganese as the primary base metal, or as a significant component in a mixture or alloy, and are not otherwise specified.

In contrast to the sibling category for "Unwrought manganese," this subheading covers not only unwrought forms but also manufactured articles made from manganese. Therefore, while unwrought manganese would fall under the sibling, any finished or semi-finished articles where manganese is the principal element, and which are not specifically classified, would be directed to 8111.00.60.00.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Classification under 8111.00.60.00 relies on a thorough examination of the product's composition, form, and intended use, ensuring it is indeed manganese or an article thereof, and critically, that it does not meet the criteria for any more specific heading or subheading within the HTS. Examples might include specialized manganese-based alloys not otherwise listed, or unique manganese articles with no specific tariff provision.
