Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If synthetically produced cresylic acids
Pure synthetic cresols are organic chemicals in 2907, excluding coal tar natural extracts
If formulated as herbicide intermediates
Pesticide-use formulations shift to Chapter 38, not raw coal tar phenols
