Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sorted to achieve higher Cr2O3 levels
Physical upgrading exceeding 40% Cr2O3 threshold changes subheading.
If ground to specified fineness for non-metallurgical use
Fine-ground natural sands/clays for industrial use fall under 2508.
