Alternative Classifications

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

2849.90.50.00Higher: 38.7% vs 30.5%

If processed into tungsten carbide powder

Carbides are specifically classified in 2849; the chemical transformation from oxide changes heading.

2833.29.40.00Higher: 38.7% vs 30.5%

If selenites/tungstates rather than oxides

Complex salts containing tungsten fall under 2833; only pure oxides stay in 2825.
