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

2827.35.00Lower: 38.7% vs 38.9%

If containing phosphorus impurities exceeding classification thresholds

Phosphofluorides or fluoroaluminates may shift to complex fluorine salts in 2827 if not purely fluoride.

3808.94.50Lower: 30% vs 38.9%

If formulated as pesticide or disinfectant

Fluoride salts in pesticidal preparations are classified by end-use in Chapter 38, not pure chemicals.
