Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the solution contains a cyanide salt other than sodium, such as potassium cyanide.
The tariff item is specific to sodium cyanide; other metal cyanides are classified under the sibling item.
If the solution contains additives for specific use, making it a preparation.
If the solution is not a simple aqueous solution but a formulated product, it may fall under preparations.
