Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2829.19.01.00Lower: 38.3% vs 40.5%

If brominated as alkyl bromides like methyl bromide

Organic bromine compounds shift to Chapter 28 bromides and halide derivatives, not elemental bromine.

3808.94.50Lower: 30% vs 40.5%

If pesticide-formulated like ethylene dibromide

Pesticides containing bromine are classified by use in Chapter 38, not as pure chemical elements.

2903.59.90.00Lower: 3.7% vs 40.5%

If in brominated hydrocarbon form

Halogenated organic derivatives of hydrocarbons fall under Chapter 29, distinguished from inorganic elemental halogens.
