Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) Sputtering Target
Indium tin oxide (ITO) sputtering targets are solid forms of a doped tin oxide compound used to deposit transparent conductive films. The product is a mixture of indium oxide and tin oxide, not a single chemically defined compound, but it is classified under tariff item 2825.90.00 as an 'other' metal oxide. The physical form as a target does not alter its chemical classification.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the exact ratio of indium oxide to tin oxide, as high indium content may suggest classification under heading 28.25 as indium oxide
• Provide the CBSA with the chemical analysis and intended use
• If the target is mounted on a backing plate, the assembly may be classified elsewhere

Antimony-Doped Tin Oxide (ATO) Powder
Antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) is a powder consisting of tin dioxide doped with antimony to impart electrical conductivity. While it is a metal oxide, the doping introduces an additional element, making it a mixture rather than a single chemically defined compound. However, it is classified under tariff item 2825.90.00 as an 'other' inorganic base or metal oxide, consistent with its oxide character.
Beryllia Ceramic Powder
Beryllia ceramic powder is a high-purity form of beryllium oxide (BeO) used in aerospace and electronics for its thermal and insulating properties. It is a chemically defined inorganic compound, not a finished ceramic article, and is therefore classified under this tariff item for other inorganic bases and metal oxides.
Beryllium Hydroxide Flakes
Beryllium hydroxide flakes are a chemically defined metal hydroxide produced from beryl ore. They are used as a precursor in nuclear and ceramic applications and are classified here as an inorganic base.
Beryllium Oxide Powder
High-purity beryllium oxide powder is a chemically defined compound used in ceramics and electronics. It is not a finished product and falls under this tariff item for other metal oxides.
