Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If boride-carbide complex like vanadium borocarbide
Chapter exclusion sends carbide-inclusive compounds to 2849.
If in unwrought ruthenium-vanadium boride alloy form
Certain vanadium-ruthenium compounds classify under Chapter 81 metals.
If sintered into refractory bricks or shapes
Fabricated boride ceramics for industrial use move to Chapter 69.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide assay reports showing boron-to-vanadium ratio to confirm boride identity and avoid alloy misclassification
• Use anti-static packaging and label as 'flammable solid' if pyrophoric; comply with USPS Publication 52
• Document non-carbide status explicitly, as borocarbides redirect to 2849
