Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If simple potassium cyanide without gold
Complex gold cyanides are specifically in 2843 per chapter notes; simple cyanides in 2837.
If as complex cyanide of inorganic base
Chapter notes direct certain complex cyanides to 2842, but gold compounds take precedence in 2843.
If in electroplating bath preparations
Gold cyanide in finished plating solutions is a chemical preparation under 3824.
