Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If prepared as non-hazardous lab chemical mixture
Lab chemicals put up in packings for retail sale, not pure, go to 3824.
If containing carbide impurities > certain level
Carbides mixed with halides may classify under carbides heading per Chapter Note 2(e).
If phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) mislabeled as PCl5
PCl3 has separate specific subheading 2812.12 immediately preceding.
