Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily limestone flux without iron ore
Pure lime/limestone shifts to Chapter 25.
If used for metal extraction residues
Industrial slag residues per 2620 note.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Disclose flux content in assays but report primary iron metal content undeducted
• Confirm flux does not alter classification to slag under 2620 chapter note
• Use ISIJ or ISO standards for pellet quality certification in entry docs
