Alternative Classifications

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

3808.91.50.01Higher: 40% vs 15.5%

If when formulated as insecticide in retail packaging

Formulated pesticide products with carriers or diluents move to Chapter 38 as insecticides.

2903.89.20.00Higher: 30.5% vs 15.5%

If not registered or approved as pesticide

Non-pesticide halogenated aromatic derivatives fall under general 'other' subheading.

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 15.5%

If purely aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons without aromatic derivation

Lack of benzene derivation shifts classification to halogenated acyclic hydrocarbons.
