Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for aluminum production electrolytic cells
Electrolysis electrodes have different current density and durability requirements than lighting carbons.
If petroleum coke calcined base material sold bulk
Unprocessed carbon materials for further manufacture classified as petroleum coke, not finished electrodes.
If part of complete lighting machinery
Machinery parts classification applies when imported as integral components of finished machines.
