Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chlorinated acyclic side chain
Benzyl chlorides (side-chain chlorinated) classify separately.
If crude technical grade <85% purity
Aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures classify under Chapter 27.
If non-halogenated toluene
Pure toluene without halogenation falls under cyclic hydrocarbons.
