Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If prepared as a complex salt with other metals
Complex cyanides of inorganic bases fall under 2842 per chapter notes, not simple sodium cyanide.
If mixed with organic stabilizers exceeding 5% composition
Mixtures not chemically defined as pure sodium cyanide shift to 'other chemical preparations' in 3824.
If formulated as fertilizer-grade with nitrogen content
Certain cyanamide derivatives for fertilizers are excluded to Chapter 31 per chapter note 2(c).
