How to choose the right subheading

Confirm the product is a sulfide of a nonmetal, not a metal sulfide.
For carbon disulfide, use 2813.10.00.00.
For other sulfides, identify the element named in the line: arsenic, phosphorus, or other.
Use 2813.90.20.00 for commercial phosphorus trisulfide and other phosphorus sulfides.
Use 2813.90.50.00 only when the nonmetal is not arsenic or phosphorus.
