Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If incorporated into complete battery assemblies
Finished dry cell batteries including the electrolyte fall under Chapter 85 as electrical equipment, not raw chemical components.
If pickled with metal surfaces for flux use
Pickling preparations containing ammonium chloride are classified in 3810 as metal treatment chemicals, per specific functional use.
If blended with animal/vegetable fertilizers
Chapter 31 note excludes pure ammonium chloride, but blends for fertilizer become animal/vegetable fertilizers in 3101.
