Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If impure or with additives reducing chloride ion purity
Statistical suffixes differentiate based on chloride content percentages in cobalt compounds.
If ferro-cobalt alloy containing chloride impurities
Cobalt alloys or ferro-cobalt fall in Chapter 72, not pure chemical compounds.
If spent catalyst containing residual cobalt chloride
Waste or spent catalysts with cobalt compounds classified as supported catalysts in 3815.
