Synthetic Hematite Red Pigment
Synthetic Hematite Red Pigment is a synthetic hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) red pigment used in plastics masterbatch, with an iron content exceeding 70% as Fe2O3. It is classified under tariff item 2821.10.00 because it is an iron oxide, and its thermal stability up to 280°C does not affect its classification.
