Alternative Classifications

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

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 28.7%

If iodine considered principal halogen

Iodinated compounds sometimes prioritize heavier halogen characteristic.

2931Lower: 13.7% vs 28.7%

If organo-iodine compounds

Chapter notes exclude sulfonated/halogenated from 2931, but pure organo-halides might qualify.
