Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as a simple oxide of a nonmetal
Chapter notes specify simple nonmetal oxides in 2811; antimony sometimes debated as metalloid.
If when mixed with organic stabilizers for retail
Mixtures with organic substances may fall under prepared chemical mixtures rather than pure inorganic oxides.
If imported primarily as inorganic pigment colorant
Chapter exclusions send luminophore/pigment-use products to 3206 instead of Chapter 28.
