Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unrefined natural barium sulfate with tin impurities
Clays or similar earthy substances like barite with incidental tin fall under 2508, not as primary tin ores.
If containing arsenic and used for arsenic extraction
Arsenic-bearing residues or ash from tin processing qualify under heading 2620 per chapter notes.
