Alternative Classifications

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

2903.69.90.00Lower: 3.7% vs 15.5%

If imported in bulk for industrial synthesis without specific naming

General 'other fluorinated aromatic hydrocarbons' if not explicitly listed in 2903.99.05, per chapter note prioritizing last numerical heading.

2903.99Same rate: 15.5%

If for other specifically named halogenated toluenes not trifluoro-substituted

Moves to catch-all 'other' within 2903.99 if chemical structure deviates slightly from enumerated compounds.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 15.5%

If dissolved in solvent for safe transport

Chapter note (e) allows solutions in solvents for safety/transport to classify under 3824 if rendered suitable beyond general use.
