High-Purity Cadmium Shot
Spherical cadmium shot with 99.999% purity, used as a vapor deposition source or for precise alloying additions in high-tech manufacturing. It is classified as an article of cadmium under 8112.69.00 because the spherical form is precision-formed for a specific application, distinguishing it from simple granules or powders.
