Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2846.10.00Lower: 5.5% vs 35%

If chemically processed into beryllium compounds

Refined beryllium compounds like beryllium oxide are classified in Chapter 28 as inorganic chemicals, not raw ores.

2620.99Lower: 10% vs 35%

If residue from metal extraction containing arsenic

Per chapter notes, arsenic-containing residues used for metal or arsenic extraction fall under heading 2620, not raw ores.

2617.10.00.00Lower: Free vs 35%

If primarily antimony content

Ores dominated by antimony are classified separately under 2617.10, based on principal metal content.
