Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hydrogen chloride gas instead
HCl gas is classified separately under hydrogen chloride in heading 2806.
If mixed with phosphides or other Chapter 28 inclusions
Complex inorganic compounds like copper phosphide fall under 2853 per chapter notes.
If impure or in chemical preparations
Mixtures not chemically defined are classified as chemical preparations in 3824.
