Unwrought Gallium Metal
Pure unwrought gallium in ingot or lump form, typically 99.99% purity, used in semiconductor and LED manufacturing. Classified under HTS 8112.92.10.00 as unwrought gallium, distinct from wrought articles or powders. This form allows easy melting and casting for industrial applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If processed into wrought forms like bars or sheets
Wrought articles of gallium (e.g., rolled or forged) move to 'other articles' subheading excluding unwrought.
If chemically compounded, like gallium trichloride
Gallium compounds are classified in Chapter 28 for inorganic chemicals, not pure metal.
If imported as prepared solution for doping
Gallium in chemical preparations for specific uses like semiconductor doping falls under chemical mixtures.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity certificate (≥99% gallium) to confirm classification under 8112.92.10.00; impurities may shift to alloys in Chapter 81
• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) due to gallium's toxicity and low melting point; declare as hazardous if shipped molten
• Avoid common pitfall of mislabeling as semiconductor dopant—pure unwrought form stays here, not under finished components
