Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as 'other wastes' from chemical industries unfit for use
Wastes mainly from metal pickling liquors shift to heading 3825 per chapter notes if not preparations.
If predominantly sulfuric or hydrochloric acid without waste additives
Pure acids revert to inorganic chemical headings in Chapter 28.
If containing specific persistent organic pollutants listed in subheading notes
Mixtures with listed substances like PCBs move to 3824.81-3824.89.
