Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If purely an oxide of nonmetal without chloride
Other nonmetal oxides go to 2811; presence of chlorine makes it a halide oxide under 2812
If already a finished pesticide or herbicide intermediate
Pesticides and disinfectants are classified in 3808, not pure chemical precursors
