Alternative Classifications

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

2830.90Same rate: 35%

If purity falls below 99.99% but still chemically defined

Other zinc sulfides without luminescent grade specification go to the residual subheading.

3206Lower: 16.5% vs 35%

If supplied as inorganic color pigments rather than raw material

Chapter 32 covers pigments and preparations used for coloring, excluding pure chemical compounds.

Import Tips & Compliance

Obtain third-party assay reports for purity verification during customs; specify 'luminescent grade' on commercial invoice

Check for REACH-like restrictions on sulfides in destination markets
