Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If prepared as a retail de-icing mixture with additives
Blends with organic substances or other salts for consumer use shift to prepared chemical preparations, not pure calcium chloride.
If used as a fertilizer component in bulk
Potash-based fertilizers including potassium chloride fall under Chapter 31, but pure calcium chloride remains in Chapter 28 unless specifically for ag use.
