Alternative Classifications

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

3824.99.39Higher: 35% vs 25%

If pre-alloyed with metals as prepared addition

Prepared metal additions containing selenium are chemical preparations under 3824, not pure elements.

7202.99Lower: 15% vs 25%

If already incorporated in ferroalloys

Ferroalloys containing selenium are classified as iron/steel products in Chapter 72.

2830.90Lower: 13% vs 25%

If as simple sulfide like selenium disulfide

Selenium sulfides are metal/nonmetal sulfides under heading 2830.
