Alternative Classifications

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

3808.91Lower: 15% vs 15.5%

If when imported as pesticide formulation with carriers

Formulated insecticides containing chlordane are classified in Chapter 38 for pesticides, not pure compounds.

2903.89.40.00Higher: 38.7% vs 15.5%

If contains fluorine, bromine, or iodine atoms

Multiple halogenation moves classification to 'other' chlorinated categories excluding mono-halogen.
