Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the compound is primarily a sulphonated derivative
Sulphonated derivatives are in subheading 2904.10, but the nitro groups make it a compound derivative.
If the compound is primarily a nitrated derivative
Nitrated derivatives are in subheading 2904.20, but the sulphonic groups are also present.
If the solution is put up for retail sale as a dye
Dyes put up for retail sale are in heading 3204, but this is a bulk chemical solution.
