Alternative Classifications

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

3813.00Lower: 13.7% vs 38.7%

If put up in fire-extinguisher charges

Chapter note excludes fire-extinguishing preparations containing hydrogen.

2711.12.00Lower: 25% vs 38.7%

If liquefied petroleum gases with hydrogen content

LPG mixtures are classified by hydrocarbon content in Chapter 27, not pure hydrogen.

2853Lower: 12.8% vs 38.7%

If complex cyanogen derivatives present

Chapter note 2(e) moves certain hydrogen compounds to heading 2853.
