Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If natural garnet or corundum instead of pumice
Other natural abrasives like garnet in the same heading but different subheading based on material.
If for panels, boards, or shingles
Pumice used in construction panels moves to Chapter 68 worked monumental stone.
If chemically treated as prepared binder
Pumice fluxes or chemically modified for chemical use fall under Chapter 38 mixtures.
