Tantalum; articles thereof, including waste and scrap
In plain English
This category covers tantalum and related items, including waste and scrap material. The classification distinguishes between raw forms, such as unwrought metal, bars, rods, and powders, and discarded material. It further separates specific manufactured items like crucibles from other tantalum articles that do not fit into the previously mentioned categories.
