Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hydride of metals other than tungsten
Heading 2850.00.10.00 is tungsten-specific; other metal hydrides use residual subheading.
If classified primarily as hydrogen gas adsorbed on tungsten substrate
Pure hydrogen or adsorbed forms may classify under hydrogen heading rather than metal hydride.
If stabilized with organic ligands for solution processing
Organically modified or complexed hydrides become chemical preparations in Chapter 38.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ship under proper pyrophoric solid precautions (UN3138) due to spontaneous ignition risk
• Require stability data showing hydride formation vs adsorbed hydrogen on tungsten
• EU import notification required for nano-hydrides under REACH Annex XVII
