Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If unwrought or powder
Unwrought niobium heads 8105; crucibles are finished articles in 8112.
If lined with refractory ceramic
Refractory ceramic crucibles, even metal-jacketed, classify by ceramic material.
If part of industrial furnace
When integral to furnace assembly, it becomes Chapter 85 furnace parts.
