Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is not specifically the 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethylchloride hydrochloride derivative but another acyclic monoamine salt
Covers other acyclic monoamines and their salts not more specifically described elsewhere in heading 2921.
If the product is considered primarily as an ester of a carboxylic acid with an alcohol function
Chapter note 5(A) directs esters of acid-function compounds to the heading occurring last in numerical order; 2918 may apply if the acid function is more characteristic.
If the product is not a separate chemically defined compound or is a mixture
Chapter 29 applies only to separate chemically defined compounds; mixtures of organic chemicals may fall under residual chemical products heading 3824.
