Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If doped for electronic use
Doped chemical elements in unworked forms like rods stay in Chapter 28, but further processing moves to 3818.
If as sodium borohydride or other boron hydride compound
Hydrides of nonmetals are classified under 2840, not pure elemental boron.
If alloyed with iron exceeding elemental boron thresholds
Pig iron/boron alloys fall under Chapter 72 as metal products, per exclusions in Chapter 28 notes.
