Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If scrap-derived
Powdered thallium scrap or waste is classified under the residual 'other' provision for these metals.
If oxidized to thallium oxide powder
Metal oxides are treated as inorganic compounds in Chapter 28, separate from pure metal powders.
If used in jewelry alloys
Thallium in precious metal alloys (e.g., with gold/silver) moves to Chapter 71 for worked jewelry materials.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Declare particle size and purity; powders may trigger additional dust explosion or inhalation risk assessments
• Comply with DOT hazardous material regulations for transport; label as UN1707 Thallium compounds (though pure metal)
• Check for REACH-like restrictions in destination markets due to thallium's environmental persistence
Related Products under HTS 8112.51.00.00
Unwrought Thallium Metal Ingot
Pure thallium metal in the form of unwrought ingots, typically produced by smelting and casting for further processing. This falls under HTS 8112.51.00.00 as unwrought thallium, which includes forms like ingots, pigs, or blocks not further worked beyond initial solidification.
Thallium Billets
Cylindrical unwrought thallium billets suitable for extrusion or forging into rods/wire. This product is unwrought thallium under HTS 8112.51.00.00, as billets are a primary form not subjected to working beyond casting.
High-Purity Thallium Shot
Small spherical pellets or shot of 99.99% pure thallium used in vacuum deposition. Falls under HTS 8112.51.00.00 as unwrought thallium in a form akin to pigs or shot, not further processed.
Thallium Granules
Granular unwrought thallium metal for alloy addition in metallurgy. Classified in HTS 8112.51.00.00 as unwrought thallium, where granules qualify as a powder-like or unwrought form.
Thallium Pigs
Large cast blocks known as pigs of unwrought thallium from primary smelting. This is explicitly unwrought thallium under HTS 8112.51.00.00, a standard primary form for storage and remelting.
