Alternative Classifications

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

2841.80.00Same rate: 30.5%

If containing impurities exceeding chemically defined thresholds

May shift to broader 2841.90 if not meeting Chapter 28 Note 1 purity standards for chemically defined compounds.

2825.90Lower: 13.7% vs 30.5%

If classified as antimony-based rather than tungsten

Antimonates fall under 2825, but pure tungstates remain in 2841; mislabeling composition changes heading.

3102.60.00.00Lower: 25% vs 30.5%

If blended with fertilizers for agricultural use

Mixtures with nitrogen/phosphorus compounds may classify as mineral/chemical fertilizers per Chapter 31 notes.
