Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unwrought >99.8% pure magnesium
Chapter 81 covers specific base metals like magnesium when wrought/unwrought.
If processed into pyrotechnic safety matches
Pyrotechnic compositions shift to Chapter 36.
If containing >50% magnesium oxide slag
Slag/ash with metal oxides classifies under 2620.
