Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If sold as general graphite shapes without mold attachment
Articles of graphite in Chapter 68 cover non-machinery-specific linings or blocks.
If designed for casting machines rather than molds
Parts for overall casting machines exclude mold-specific consumables in this statistical breakout.
If chemically treated as a prepared additive
Chemical preparations for foundry use shift to Chapter 38 if not a physical mold component.
