Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If based on zinc oxide rather than iron hexacyanoferrates
Other inorganic pigments have dedicated 3206 subheadings.
If already incorporated into finished ceramic color bodies
Refractory ceramic colors classify in Chapter 69, not raw pigments.
If for colorants set in durable medium for artists' colors
Artist color sets in Chapter 32 headings like 3213 exclude loose pigments.
