Tungsten Trioxide Powder (WO3)
Tungsten trioxide (WO3) is a yellow-green powder used primarily in the production of tungsten metal and as a catalyst in chemical processes. It falls under HTS 2825.90.30.00 as a chemically defined tungsten oxide, distinct from other metal oxides. This pure inorganic compound meets Chapter 28 criteria for classification as a metal oxide.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing less than 99% WO3 purity
Lower purity tungsten oxides fall under the general 'other tungsten oxides' subheading, distinguished by chemical purity thresholds.
If spent catalyst containing tungsten oxides
Spent or waste catalysts supported on tungsten oxides are classified in Chapter 38 as catalytic preparations, not pure oxides.
If used as inorganic pigment in paints
Chapter note excludes luminophores or pigments from Chapter 28; classified as inorganic colorants if primarily for coloring.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify purity and chemical composition via certificate of analysis to confirm classification as chemically defined under Chapter 28 notes
• Ensure proper labeling as 'Tungsten Trioxide' and include safety data sheets for hazardous material handling during customs clearance
• Avoid misclassification as tungsten metal powder (8101.94); provide documentation proving it's an oxide form
