Overview
This HTS classification, 8112.92.30.00, specifically covers unwrought indium, as well as waste and scrap of indium, and indium powders. Indium is a soft, silvery-white metal known for its low melting point, ductility, and ability to form alloys. In its unwrought form, it typically appears as ingots, bars, or granules. Waste and scrap refer to discarded or used indium materials, while powders are finely divided particles of the metal.
This category is distinct from its siblings which cover other unwrought base metals or their waste and scrap. For instance, 8112.92.10.00 pertains to gallium, 8112.92.40.00 to niobium, and 8112.92.70.00 to vanadium, each with their unique chemical properties and industrial applications. The "Other" designation within the unwrought, waste, and scrap section signifies that this particular code is reserved for indium after other specific metals within Chapter 8112 have been accounted for.
As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8112.92.30.00 is determined by the presence of indium in an unwrought, waste and scrap, or powder form, and its exclusion from any more specific classifications within this chapter. Common uses for indium in these forms include the production of LCD screens, semiconductors, solders, and as an alloying element in other metals.
