More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If elemental germanium rather than oxide
Pure chemical elements classify in heading 2805, separate from oxides.
If prepared with organic solvents for lab use
Solvent-added chemicals become preparations under 3824 per exclusions.
If fabricated into optical elements
Finished optical components shift from raw chemicals to Chapter 90.
