8112.59.00.00 - Other

This HTS category, 8112.59.00.00, encompasses articles of thallium that are neither unwrought nor in powder form, nor classified as waste or scrap. It serves as a residual category for finished or semi-finished thallium products that do not fit into the more specific classifications for its unwrought forms or its discarded materials.

The distinction from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 8112.51.00.00 specifically covers thallium in its primary, unworked state, including ingots, bars, rods, and finely divided powders. HTS code 8112.52.00.00, on the other hand, is reserved for thallium in its recovered and recycled forms. Therefore, 8112.59.00.00 applies to items such as manufactured thallium alloys, fabricated thallium components, or specific thallium compounds not otherwise classified.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 8112.59.00.00. Classification within this heading hinges on the absence of the specific characteristics that would place an item into the unwrought/powder category or the waste/scrap category. Exporters and importers should carefully examine the form and processing of the thallium article to ensure it is not a primary material or a recycled material before assigning it to this "Other" category.
