Alternative Classifications

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

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 15.5%

If chlorofluorinated without bromine

Chlorinated/fluorinated aromatics fall under separate subheading if not matching exact enumerated polyhalogenated structure.

2903.99Same rate: 15.5%

If for similar dihalotrifluorotoluenes not specifically named

Catch-all for other named halogenated aromatics within the 'other' provision of 2903.99.

2930.90Lower: 13.7% vs 15.5%

If containing sulfur directly linked to carbon

Chapter note shifts organo-sulfur compounds to 2930 even if halogenated, if sulfur defines character.
