Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If primarily organic-based binder
Mixtures with predominant organic compounds shift to the organic subheading, excluding purely inorganic tungsten mixes.
If sold as pure tungsten salts without mixing
Single inorganic tungsten compounds like tungstates classify under Chapter 28 as salts, not mixtures.
If used as refractory cement in foundry
Refractory cements/mortars for furnaces, even with tungsten, fall under 3816 if meeting specific heat-resistance criteria.
