Alternative Classifications

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

2811.29.50.00Higher: 38.7% vs 28.7%

If classified as a simple oxide of a nonmetal

Chapter notes specify simple nonmetal oxides in 2811; antimony sometimes debated as metalloid.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 28.7%

If when mixed with organic stabilizers for retail

Mixtures with organic substances may fall under prepared chemical mixtures rather than pure inorganic oxides.

3206.50.00.00Higher: 41.5% vs 28.7%

If imported primarily as inorganic pigment colorant

Chapter exclusions send luminophore/pigment-use products to 3206 instead of Chapter 28.

Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify purity and chemical composition via lab analysis to confirm classification under Chapter 28 as a chemically defined metal oxide

β€’ Include Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and REACH compliance docs due to toxicity; avoid misclassification as pigment (3206)
