Alternative Classifications

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

2903.99Same rate: 40.5%

If when CBP determines not covered by specific enumeration

Interpretative rulings may limit 'trichlorobenzenes' to major commercial isomers.

2903.69Lower: 13.7% vs 40.5%

If classified as substituted chlorotoluene instead

Molecular structure interpretation affects parent hydrocarbon classification.

3812Lower: 15% vs 40.5%

If pre-formulated as dye intermediate composition

Mixtures for specific manufacturing processes shift to Chapter 38.
