Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pig iron recarburizer blends
Graphite mixed with pig iron for recarburizing classifies as pig iron preparation.
If synthetic grade
Artificially produced graphite powder/flakes enter as chemical products.
If molded into blocks
Compressed graphite blocks become shaped articles of Chapter 68.
