Notes that govern this classification

Pos. 8105

Erläuterungen zum Harmonisierten System (HS) Die wichtigsten in der Cobaltmetallurgie verwendeten Erze sind Heterogenit (wasserhaltiges Cobaltoxid), Linneit oder Cobaltkies (Cobaltnickelsulfid) und Speisecobalt (Cobaltarsenid). Diese Erze werden zuerst durch Schmelzen in Matte oder andere Zwischenerzeugnisse umgewandelt. Eine Behandlung, durch die die anderen Metalle ausgeschieden werden, ermöglicht die Gewinnung von Cobaltoxid, das dann durch Kohle, Aluminium usw. reduziert wird. Cobalt wird auch durch Elektrolyse oder durch Behandlung der Raffinationsrückstände von Kupfer, Nickel, Silber usw. gewonnen. Cobalt ist ein silberweißes Metall, das härter als Nickel und an der Luft kaum veränderlich ist; es ist das magnetischste Nichteisenmetall. …

The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds.

Is there binding tariff information for 8105.90.00.00?

Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 8105.90.00.00, for example IEBTIIENEN004-2025-BTI188. A BTI shows which product characteristics the customs authority relied on.
