Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If for use in vapor degreasing systems with additives
Specialized degreasing preparations classify under organic composite solvents in 3814 rather than base compound.
If technical grade with anti-dusting agents
Additions per chapter note g limits stay in 2903.23; excess moves to other chlorinated derivatives.
If imported pre-loaded in cleaning machinery
When part of cleaning equipment, it falls under machinery of chapter 84, not pure chemicals.
