Alternative Classifications

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

2508.30.00Lower: 10% vs 38%

If pure zircon sand or flour without binders

Unbound zircon is classified as natural sands/minerals in Chapter 25.

6903.90.00Lower: 35% vs 38%

If pre-applied as cast or molded furnace linings

Shaped refractory products shift to Chapter 69 subheadings.

2811.22Lower: 10% vs 38%

If high-silica variants misread as silica gels

Silica-based chemicals without refractory context fall under inorganic chemicals.
