Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If plates, blocks, or rods rather than powder
Same artificial graphite but shaped forms exclude powder/spherical classifications.
If contains additives exceeding 10% by weight
Chemical preparations with significant non-graphite content shift from pure graphite heading.
If imported with metallic lithium foil as test cell set
Sets containing battery materials and components classified by essential character under battery parts.

Import Tips & Compliance
• BET surface area test reports critical; values >3.0 m²/g may disqualify from 'surface-modified' specific subheading
• Declare LC50 data if silane treatment involves volatile organics to address potential hazmat classification
• Use incoterms clearly separating quality inspection from customs valuation to prevent disputes
