Furnace Black Carbon Black
Furnace black is a type of carbon black produced in a furnace by partial combustion of hydrocarbons, resulting in fine particulate carbon with high surface area. It falls under HTS 2803.00.00 as a form of carbon black not elsewhere specified, used primarily as a reinforcing filler in rubber products like tires.

More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If combined with a dispersion medium like oil or water
Suspensions or pastes of carbon black qualify as rubber accelerators or compounding ingredients under 3812, not pure carbon.
If processed into a pigment preparation for paints
Synthetic organic coloring matter preparations containing carbon black shift to Chapter 32 for pigments.
If for doped forms used in electronics
Doped chemical elements like carbon for semiconductors fall under 3824 as prepared chemical products.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and particle size specifications in documentation to confirm classification under 2803.00.00 and avoid reclassification as a pigment
• Provide certificates of analysis showing carbon content >99% to prevent customs disputes
• Ensure proper hazardous material labeling if shipped in bulk, as fine powders pose dust explosion risks
