Alternative Classifications

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

3824.40Lower: 15% vs 35%

If chemically processed as a spent catalyst preparation

Prepared chemical products from catalysts may shift to 3824 if not raw residues.

2620.19.30Same rate: 35%

If containing mainly chromium or lead instead

Same heading but different subheading based on primary metal content.

2621.10.00Lower: 17.5% vs 35%

If for retail sale packaging vs industrial bulk

If packaged for consumer use rather than industrial extraction, it may be waste ash under 2621.

Import Tips & Compliance

Submit lab assays specifying vanadium content as the primary metal to meet statistical reporting requirements

Declare origin and process to distinguish from steel slags or waste ash

Avoid common pitfall of undervaluation by documenting vanadium recovery value
