Alternative Classifications

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

2915.90Lower: 13.8% vs 29.2%

If classified as other saturated acyclic carboxylate salt

Broader heading for other monocarboxylic acid salts; specific cobalt acetate subheading takes precedence per numerical order rule.

2841.90Lower: 13.7% vs 29.2%

If for cobalt salts of inorganic acids

Salts of inorganic acids like cobalt sulfate classify in Chapter 28; organic acid salts stay in Chapter 29.

3204.19.40Lower: 16.5% vs 29.2%

If put up specifically as synthetic organic coloring intermediate

If prepared exclusively for dye production with added identifiers, may shift to Chapter 32 coloring matter.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide assay report showing >95% cobalt acetate content to avoid mixture classification; label as UN3077 Environmentally Hazardous Substance

Pitfall: anhydrous forms may face stricter stability testing for transport
