HS-6 · Subheading
811251
Thallium and articles thereof; unwrought thallium, powders
Heading 8112 — Beryllium, chromium, hafnium, rhenium, thallium, cadmium, germanium, vanadium, gallium, indium and niobium (columbium), articles of these metals, including waste and scrap
Chapter 81: Other base metals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 811251 when importing or exporting unwrought thallium or thallium powders. For example, if you're shipping a batch of thallium ingots for industrial use, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers unwrought thallium, which is typically sold in ingot or powder form. If you have thallium alloys or compounds, you may need to look at other classifications under the same heading.
Compare this with HS-6 811252, which includes thallium waste and scrap. If your shipment consists of thallium-containing scrap materials, you should classify it under that code instead.
Understanding the nuances between these codes is essential for accurate tariff classification and compliance with customs regulations.
