Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pure cobalt carbonate
Carbonates of inorganic bases specifically in 2836 per Chapter note.
If hydrated or with additives
Complex preparations not chemically defined go to other chemical products.
If complex salt form
Double or complex salts of cobalt classified in 2842.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Cross-check against 2836.50 for pure carbonates; use chemical analysis
• Label as 'not for human consumption' to avoid food additive scrutiny
• Declare CAS number (10048-94-3) accurately for customs matching
