Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2616.90.00Same rate: 35%

If containing precious metal impurities from prior use

Recovered mercury cyanides with gold/silver content classify as precious metal residues.

2837.11.00.00Same rate: 35%

If for cyanide-dominant complex classification

When mercury is complexed ligand rather than primary cation, may shift to simple cyanides.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 35%

If as formulated leaching solution additive

Mining chemical preparations containing these compounds classify under mixtures.

Yellow Mercuric Oxide Powder

Yellow mercuric oxide (HgO) is a chemically defined inorganic compound of mercury used primarily in the production of mercury batteries and as a chemical reagent. It falls under HTS 2852.10.10.00 as it is explicitly listed as mercuric oxide, meeting the 'chemically defined' criteria per subheading note for Chapter 28. This bright yellow powder is handled with extreme care due to its toxicity.

Red Mercuric Oxide Crystals

Red mercuric oxide (HgO) in crystalline form serves as an analytical reagent and pigment precursor in specialized applications. Classified under HTS 2852.10.10.00 as mercuric oxide, a chemically defined mercury compound per Chapter 28 notes. The red variant differs from yellow in crystal structure but shares identical chemical composition.

Mercuric Cyanide Laboratory Grade

Mercuric cyanide (Hg(CN)2) is a highly toxic white crystalline compound used in gold mining extraction and organic synthesis. It qualifies for HTS 2852.10.10.00 as a chemically defined mercury compound explicitly named in the subheading. Strict handling protocols are required due to its extreme poison hazard.

Mercuric Oxycyanide Reagent

Mercuric oxycyanide (Hg(CN)2·HgO) serves as a specialized reagent in qualitative analysis and pharmaceutical intermediates. This compound is explicitly listed under HTS 2852.10.10.00 as a chemically defined mercury compound meeting Chapter 28 purity standards.
