Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If dispersed in nonaqueous media for paint manufacturing
Chapter note 3 excludes pigments dispersed in nonaqueous media from chapter 32, moving to pigments in paint form.
If chemically pure zinc oxide without binders
Pure zinc oxide is classified as an inorganic compound in Chapter 28, not a preparation.
If based on metallic flakes with zinc oxide in solvent solution
Solutions with >50% solvent shift to heading 3208 per chapter note.

Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Verify zinc oxide content exceeds 50% by weight to confirm classification under this subheading
ā¢ Provide lab analysis certificates for chemical composition during customs clearance to avoid reclassification
ā¢ Ensure labeling distinguishes from pure zinc oxide (Chapter 28) or paint dispersions (3212)
