Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the phosphate content is predominant and chloride is incidental
Phosphates of copper are classified under heading 2835, and the product may be viewed as a phosphate rather than a chloride oxide.
If the compound is not specifically of copper but another metal
Other chloride oxides and chloride hydroxides not elsewhere specified fall under this subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is a separate chemically defined compound with no organic constituents, as Chapter 28 excludes organo-inorganic compounds
• Verify the chloride content is significant; if the phosphate character dominates, consider heading 2835 for phosphates
• Keep a certificate of analysis to support classification if questioned by CBSA
