Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If chlorofluorinated without bromine
Chlorinated/fluorinated aromatics fall under separate subheading if not matching exact enumerated polyhalogenated structure.
If for similar dihalotrifluorotoluenes not specifically named
Catch-all for other named halogenated aromatics within the 'other' provision of 2903.99.
If containing sulfur directly linked to carbon
Chapter note shifts organo-sulfur compounds to 2930 even if halogenated, if sulfur defines character.
