Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If tantalum content <99% by weight
Falls under tantalum alloys if alloyed with other metals exceeding any single element.
If in powder form
Powders of tantalum are specifically provided for separately from articles.
If assembled into finished jewelry
Articles of precious metals like tantalum used in jewelry shift to Chapter 71.
