Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If roasted to remove sulfur
Calcined/oxidized zinc ores reclassified.
If gold extracted as synthetic rough diamonds absent
Nuggets or rough gold enter Chapter 71 directly.
If chemically processed for metal compounds
Colloidal precious metals or compounds shift headings.
