Alternative Classifications

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

8311.10.00Lower: 35% vs 41.5%

If complete coated welding electrodes, not separate coating

Finished coated electrodes or rods classify under Chapter 83 as welding products.

3824Lower: 15% vs 41.5%

If functioning as general binder resin

Non-specific electrode preparations fall into foundry auxiliaries or chemical mixtures.

3810.90.50Lower: 40% vs 41.5%

If aromatic content under 5% by weight

Lower aromatic threshold moves to general auxiliary preparations subheading.
