Alternative Classifications

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

2815.12.00.00Higher: 35% vs 3.1%

If primarily considered a metal fluoride rather than complex salt

Simpler alkali metal fluorides go to 2826.19, but hexafluorophosphate's complex anion qualifies for 2826.90.

3824.99.11.00Higher: 35% vs 3.1%

If for doped or electronic-grade preparations

Chemical preparations containing LiPF6 for semiconductor use may classify as mixtures in 3824 per Chapter exclusions.

8548.00.00.00Higher: 35% vs 3.1%

If imported as prepared battery electrolyte solution

Electrolyte preparations of heading 85.48 cover finished solutions, not pure salts.
