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.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the billets have been extruded, forged, or otherwise worked into semi-finished shapes
Worked thallium products are classified as articles of thallium, not unwrought material.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm that the billets have not been subjected to any working (e.g
• machining or surface treatment) that would alter their unwrought status
• Keep records of the casting process and dimensions to demonstrate they meet the definition of unwrought products
• Check with CBSA for any special handling requirements due to thallium's toxicity
