Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purity below 99.99% by weight
Lower purity bismuth shot defaults to the general 'other' category in the same heading.
If processed into electrodes or welding rods
Fabricated articles like welding rods shift from unwrought metal to Chapter 83 cermets and tools.
If in colloidal or pharmaceutical grade suspension
High-purity bismuth in chemical compounds classifies under inorganic chemicals, not metals.
