Alternative Classifications

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

2821.10.00Same rate: 28.7%

If natural rather than synthetic

Natural black iron oxide earth colors fall under the same subheading but different statistical suffix; synthetic specified here.

3206.50.00.00Higher: 41.5% vs 28.7%

If prepared as inorganic color lake or pigment preparation for retail

Finished pigment preparations or color lakes containing these iron oxides are classified in Chapter 32 as coloring matter.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 28.7%

If chemically modified or in admixture for specific industrial use

Complex preparations or modified iron oxides may fall under 'other chemical preparations' if not purely chemically defined.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify iron content via lab analysis to confirm >70% combined iron as Fe2O3 for proper classification

β€’ Ensure Certificate of Analysis (CoA) documents synthetic production and pigment purity to avoid misclassification as natural earth colors

β€’ Check for REACH compliance if destined for EU markets, as iron oxides have registration requirements
