Alternative Classifications

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

2825.90Lower: 13.7% vs 39.3%

If antimony oxides

Different metal oxides like antimony fall under other subheadings within 2825, not copper-specific.

3815.90.50.00Higher: 40% vs 39.3%

If spent catalyst containing CuO

Spent or waste catalysts with metal oxides are classified in 3815, not pure compounds.

2833.25.00.00Lower: 26.4% vs 39.3%

If copper carbonate instead

Copper carbonates are salts classified in 2833, distinct from oxides per Chapter notes.
