Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as finished inorganic pigment preparation
Pigment products containing selenides mixed with vehicles or binders fall under heading 3206 for coloring matter, not pure chemical compounds.
If for doped semiconductor-grade material
Doped or processed forms for electronics may classify as chemical preparations under 3824 if not purely chemically defined salts.
