8112.69 - Other:

This category, HTS 8112.69, encompasses articles of cadmium that are not otherwise specified or classified under more specific headings. It generally includes finished or semi-finished goods and articles manufactured from cadmium metal. The scope is broad, covering a variety of items where cadmium is the primary constituent or a significant component, excluding raw forms or waste.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 8112.61.00.00, which is exclusively for waste and scrap materials of cadmium. While 8112.61.00.00 deals with recovered or discarded cadmium, this heading focuses on manufactured articles and products made from cadmium. This differentiation is crucial for determining the correct classification based on the form and condition of the cadmium material.

Within HTS 8112.69, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. Subcategory 8112.69.10.00 covers unwrought cadmium, including forms like ingots, blocks, and powders, representing a more primary stage of processing than finished articles. Subcategory 8112.69.90.00 serves as a residual category for all other articles of cadmium not fitting into the unwrought or powder classifications, ensuring comprehensive coverage for this base metal.
