Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mechanically ground from native sulfur without precipitation
Unprocessed mineral sulfur is classified in Chapter 25, excluding chemically precipitated forms.
If reacted to form sodium sulfide instead of pure elemental
Metal sulfides or sulfites fall under heading 2830 as inorganic compounds of nonmetals.
If prepared specifically as rubber accelerator with additives
Compounded preparations for rubber vulcanization shift to Chapter 38.
