Alternative Classifications

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

2903.71.01.00Higher: 38.7% vs 13.7%

If chlorinated rather than fluorinated derivatives

Chapter 29 structure separates fluorinated (2903) from chlorinated acyclic hydrocarbon derivatives (2903.71).

3824.99Higher: 15% vs 13.7%

If contains stabilizers or anti-dusting agents beyond Chapter 29 note limits

Additives that render the product suitable for specific uses move it from pure compounds to Chapter 38 preparations.

2942.00Same rate: 13.7%

If imported as organic salt derivative

Salts of organic halogenated compounds fall under heading 2942 per Chapter 29 salt classification rules.
