More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is a different cyclic amide not specifically named as alachlor
This residual subheading covers other cyclic amides and their derivatives not elsewhere specified.
If imported as a formulated herbicide preparation for retail sale
Formulated pesticides are classified in Chapter 38, not as separate chemical compounds.
If the product is an acyclic amide rather than a cyclic amide
Alachlor is cyclic, but this alternative applies if the chemical structure differs.

Alachlor 96% WDG Herbicide Active
Alachlor at 96% concentration in water-dispersible granule form, a high-purity formulation of the ISO-named cyclic amide herbicide. This form is designed for easy dispersion in water for agricultural application, and the active ingredient remains alachlor as specified under tariff item 2924.25.00.
Alachlor Aniline Derivative
Synthetic alachlor produced as a high-purity aniline-based cyclic amide, matching the ISO designation for this specific compound. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of selective grass herbicides, and its chemical identity as alachlor places it under tariff item 2924.25.00.
Alachlor Technical Grade Herbicide
Technical-grade alachlor herbicide, a chloroacetanilide compound used for pre-emergent control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds. As the ISO-named alachlor, it is classified under tariff item 2924.25.00, which specifically covers this cyclic amide compound.
Alachlor with Stabilizer Additive
Alachlor containing a stabilizer additive necessary for preservation during storage and transport, as permitted under Chapter 29 Note 1(f). The stabilizer does not alter the fundamental identity of the product as alachlor, so it remains classified under tariff item 2924.25.00.
Lasso Alachlor Herbicide Concentrate
Alachlor concentrate marketed under the trade name Lasso, a well-known herbicide for agricultural pre-plant incorporated applications. The product's active ingredient is alachlor, the ISO-named compound, and it is classified under tariff item 2924.25.00 as a cyclic amide.
Microencapsulated Alachlor
Microencapsulated alachlor designed for controlled release, where the encapsulation serves as a delivery mechanism without changing the chemical identity of the active ingredient. Since the core compound remains alachlor, it falls under tariff item 2924.25.00, provided the encapsulation is for transport or safety purposes.
