Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the shot has been subjected to mechanical working beyond simple casting or trimming
Worked thallium products fall under the 'other' tariff item for thallium articles, not unwrought forms.

The Tariff Assistant works through the GRI rules on your specific product to reach the right tariff item — and can price the duty on it in the same conversation.
Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the thallium shot is in its original unwrought state, as any further processing (e.g
• rolling or drawing) may change its classification
• Provide a certificate of analysis confirming purity (99.99%) to support the tariff classification
• Verify if a permit is required under the Export and Import Permits Act, as thallium may be subject to controls
Related Products under Tariff item 8112.51.00
Thallium Billets
Thallium billets are cylindrical cast forms of unwrought thallium, intended for subsequent extrusion or forging into rods or wire. They are primary products not worked beyond casting, thus qualifying as unwrought thallium under tariff item 8112.51.00.
Thallium Granules
Thallium granules are small, irregular particles of unwrought thallium metal, typically produced by casting and crushing. They are used as an alloying addition in metallurgy and are classifiable as unwrought thallium under tariff item 8112.51.00, which includes powders and similar primary forms.
Thallium Metal Powder
Thallium metal powder is a fine particulate form of thallium produced by atomization or chemical precipitation, with at least 90% passing through a 1 mm sieve. It is explicitly covered under tariff item 8112.51.00, which includes both unwrought thallium and powders.
Thallium Pigs
Thallium pigs are large cast blocks of unwrought thallium produced during primary smelting. They are a standard primary form for storage, transport, and remelting, and are classifiable under tariff item 8112.51.00 as unwrought thallium.
Unwrought Thallium Metal Ingot
Unwrought thallium metal ingots are pure thallium cast into standard ingot shapes for further processing. As products of smelting and casting without additional working, they fall under tariff item 8112.51.00, which covers unwrought thallium and powders.
