Alternative Classifications

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

2842.90Lower: 13.3% vs 28.7%

If as complex salts like niobates

Double or complex salts of niobium go to 2842 per Chapter notes, not pure oxides.

2615.90.30.00Lower: 25% vs 28.7%

If as niobium ore or concentrates

Unrefined niobium-bearing materials are in Chapter 26, not refined oxides.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 28.7%

If for bulk industrial chemical preparations

If blended with additives exceeding simple oxide purity, it may fall under chemical mixtures.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Provide chemical analysis confirming NbO2 composition to distinguish from mixed oxides excluded by Chapter notes

β€’ Label with CAS number (12035-37-3) and hazard info for DOT compliance during import

β€’ Avoid pitfall of classifying as artificial graphite mixtures if carbon-doped (heading 3801)
