Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product contains organo-sulphur compounds as part of its structure
Organo-sulphur compounds are classified under heading 29.30, which takes precedence over amino-alcohols when sulphur atoms are directly linked to carbon.
If put up in measured doses or for retail sale as a veterinary medicament
Section note 2 directs goods put up in measured doses or for retail sale to heading 30.04, overriding the amino-alcohol classification.
