Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If stabilizer content >2% by weight
Excessive reaction inhibitors become Chapter 38 reaction accelerators.
If styrene-toluene transport mixtures
Styrene classified later in 2902.50 takes precedence.
If contains odorants or colorants beyond safety limits
Excessive additives render product 'particularly suitable' for specific use.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document stabilizer as <0.1% and solely for transport per chapter note requirements
• Specify inhibitor type (BHT, TBHQ) prevents auto-oxidation during shipping
• Use stainless steel drums; avoid copper contamination affecting purity
