Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily classified by antimony content or analogs
Hydrated antimony oxides similar to subnitrates go to 2825; composition drives heading.
If medicated for retail therapeutic use
Medicinal formulations containing bismuth subnitrate classify as medicaments in Chapter 30.
If in cosmetic retail preparations
Beauty preps with bismuth compounds shift to Chapter 33 for end-use.
