Micaceous Red Iron Oxide Pigment
Micaceous Red Iron Oxide Pigment is a synthetic pigment with a flake structure designed for anti-corrosive primers, containing more than 70% Fe2O3. It is classified under tariff item 2821.10.00 because it is an iron oxide, and its flake morphology does not exclude it from the heading, as the chapter covers iron oxides regardless of physical form.
