Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If contaminated or recycled
Thallium waste and scrap, regardless of form, falls under the 'other' subheading for these metals.
If chemically compounded
Thallium compounds like thallium sulfate are classified in Chapter 28 for inorganic chemicals, not pure metals.
If in chemical mixtures
Thallium added to chemical preparations or mixtures shifts to Chapter 38 headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and composition certificates to confirm thallium content exceeds other metals, as per Chapter 81 alloy notes
• Include safety data sheets (SDS) due to thallium's high toxicity; ensure EPA and TSCA compliance for hazardous material handling
• Avoid misclassification as waste/scrap (8112.99); provide documentation proving it's prime unwrought material
