Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If composite lab reagent mixture
Diagnostic/lab reagent composites exclude from Chapter 29; pure standards remain classified here.
If technical grade with multiple PCB isomers
Isomer mixtures explicitly go to 'other' per Chapter note (b) and numerical order rule.

Import Tips & Compliance
โข Include NIST-traceable certificate of analysis; declare as 'analytical standard, not for synthesis'
โข Small quantities (<1kg) still Chapter 29 if chemically defined per note (a); avoid 'kit' descriptions
