Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If without Li-6 isotopic enrichment
Standard lithium hydroxide is a basic inorganic salt under 2825, not an enriched isotope compound.
If other non-heading 2844 isotopes
Compounds of isotopes like boron-10 would go to 2845.90, but Li-6 specific to 2845.30.
