Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing impurities or residues from manufacturing
Contaminated or scrap cadmium classified separately from pure unwrought forms.
If chemically compounded rather than elemental metal
Cadmium compounds fall under Chapter 28 for inorganic chemicals, not pure metals.
If imported as part of a chemical preparation or mixture
Mixtures with cadmium shift to Chapter 38 for prepared chemical products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity exceeds 99% cadmium content to qualify as unwrought under Chapter 81 notes
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) due to cadmium's toxicity; comply with EPA import regulations
• Avoid misclassification as waste/scrap (8112.69.60) by providing production certificates
