Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2504.10.10.00Same rate: 25%

If in lumps exceeding 1 cm

Coarser natural graphite lumps over 1 cm fall under the specific subheading for lump form, not flakes or powder.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 25%

If chemically processed or impure

Graphite treated with chemicals or containing significant impurities may be classified as chemical preparations rather than natural mineral.

6815.19.00Higher: 35% vs 25%

If agglomerated or bound into shapes

Built-up or agglomerated graphite products like blocks enter under worked mineral products heading.
