Alternative Classifications

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

2903.59.90.00Lower: 3.7% vs 13.7%

If cis isomer or unspecified stereochemistry

Other stereoisomers not specifically named fall under residual unsaturated fluorinated hydrocarbon provisions.

3824.99Higher: 15% vs 13.7%

If supplied as stabilized solution with anti-dusting agent

Chapter 29 note (g) allows classification here, but stabilized preparations for safety may shift to mixtures in 3824.

2710.19.40.00Higher: 30.7% vs 13.7%

If for bulk unsaturated hydrocarbon gases if not fluorinated enough

Light unsaturated hydrocarbons without heavy fluorination sometimes classify under petroleum gases.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include stereochemical analysis (NMR/chromatography) to confirm trans isomer identity for specific classification

Label containers clearly distinguishing trans from cis or mixed isomers to prevent reclassification

Monitor for anti-dumping duties on fluorinated compounds from certain origins
