More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If ethylbenzene dominant (>50%) in shipment
Ethylbenzene has separate statistical breakout within same heading.
If mixed with drilling additives for oilfield use
Mixed hydrocarbon preparations for specific industrial use become Chapter 38 products.
If predominantly styrene content
Styrene (vinylbenzene) has dedicated heading taking precedence by numerical order.
