Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If plates/sheets/strip >0.2mm thick
Thicker sheet/plate specifically under 8112.14; thin foil as 'other'.
If bonded to steel substrate
Clad steel plates with hafnium classified under Chapter 72 flat-rolled products.
