8112.52.00.00 - Waste and scrap

This HTS category, 8112.52.00.00, specifically covers waste and scrap of thallium. It encompasses discarded materials, residues, and byproducts resulting from the processing or manufacturing of thallium or articles made from thallium. This includes materials that are not intended for further use in their current form and are typically destined for recycling or reprocessing.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories, 8112.51.00.00 (Unwrought; powders) and 8112.59.00.00 (Other). While 8112.51.00.00 covers unwrought forms and powders of thallium, and 8112.59.00.00 would capture other forms not explicitly defined as waste or scrap, this category is exclusively for materials that have reached their end-of-life in their current state and are classified as waste or scrap.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within this heading relies solely on the determination that the material in question is indeed waste or scrap of thallium, and not in an unwrought or powdered state, or any other form covered by the broader "other" category at the same level.
