Alternative Classifications

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

3818.00.00Higher: 50% vs 25%

If doped for electronics and cut into wafers or discs

Doped chemical elements in worked forms like wafers fall under heading 3818 per chapter note.

2840Lower: 13.7% vs 25%

If in the form of anhydrous boric acid

Boric acid (H3BO3) is classified as a boron oxide compound under 2840, not elemental boron.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 25%

If chemically defined mixtures containing boron

Mixed preparations with additives exceed pure elemental classification and go to 3824.
