Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-mixed as a herbicide intermediate
Pesticides and intermediates shift to Chapter 38 when prepared for specific pesticidal use.
If derived from naphthalene instead of benzene
Halogenated derivatives of other aromatics like naphthalene use 2904 headings.
