Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as halide of nonmetal
Chapter notes specify complex acid forms go to 2811, but pure SnCl4 remains metal chloride.
If supported on catalyst carrier
Spent or supported catalysts classify under 3815 rather than pure compounds.
