Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as bulk unwrought lumps
Distinguishes basic shapes (unwrought) from fabricated pellets for specific manufacturing processes.
If assembled as complete sputtering target cathodes
Finished semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts fall under Chapter 84.
If when sold as anti-corrosion preparations containing chromium
Coatings or pastes shift to Chapter 38 for chemical preparations.
