Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If reclaimed from used solders or bearings
Recycled granular cadmium treated as scrap rather than virgin unwrought.
If ferro-cadmium alloy granules
Ferro-alloys with cadmium fall under Chapter 72 iron/steel alloys.
If surface-oxidized during production
Partial compounds shift to Chapter 28 even if primarily metallic.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Specify granule size <10mm in documentation to confirm unwrought status
• Include downstream alloy recipes if audited for anti-dumping concerns
• Use hermetic packaging to prevent oxidation misclassification as compounds
