Products classified under HTS 2805.19.90.10
High-Purity Lithium Metal Ingots
High-purity lithium metal ingots (99.9% purity) used primarily in battery manufacturing and chemical research. Classified under HTS 2805.19.90.10 as elemental lithium, an alkali metal in unwrought form. These ingots are produced by electrolysis and stored under oil to prevent oxidation.
Battery-Grade Lithium Metal Foil
Thin lithium metal foil (0.1-0.5mm thick, 99.95% purity) rolled for use as anodes in lithium-metal batteries. Falls under HTS 2805.19.90.10 as unwrought alkali metal lithium, not further processed into articles. Protected from air exposure during handling.
Research-Grade Lithium Metal Rods
Cylindrical lithium metal rods (10-25mm diameter, 99.99% purity) for laboratory synthesis of organolithium reagents. Classified in HTS 2805.19.90.10 as other alkali metal lithium in rod form. Supplied sealed in argon-filled ampoules.
Industrial Lithium Metal Wire
Lithium metal wire (1-3mm diameter, 99.9% purity) for vapor deposition in thin-film coatings and alloying processes. HTS 2805.19.90.10 covers this alkali metal in wire form, unwrought. Wound on spools under protective oil.
Pharmaceutical-Grade Lithium Metal Chunks
Small lithium metal chunks (5-20g, 99.95% purity) for synthesis of lithium-based pharmaceuticals and Grignard-type reactions. Under HTS 2805.19.90.10 as other lithium forms, meeting chemical definition of alkali metals. Packaged in vacuum-sealed glass.
