Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is a primary amine without additional substitution
Subheading 2921.51 covers m-, o-, p-phenylenediamine and similar simple diamines, but 2,4-diaminotoluene is more specifically covered by the residual 'other' item.
If the product is used as an isocyanate intermediate
Isocyanates are classified under heading 2929; however, the amine itself remains in 2921.
