Tungsten Carbide Powder
Fine powder composed of tungsten carbide (WC), a chemically defined compound used primarily in manufacturing cutting tools and wear-resistant parts. It falls under HTS 2849.90.30.00 as a carbide of tungsten, not chemically undefined or excluded by chapter notes. This form is imported for industrial sintering processes.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If mixed with organic binders for retail packs
Mixtures with organic substances may shift to chemical preparations, not pure carbides.
If sintered into millstones or grinding wheels
Finished grinding tools from agglomerated synthetic abrasives fall under Chapter 68.
If containing other tungsten compounds or impurities
Unwrought or powder forms of tungsten alloys not purely carbide go to Chapter 81.
