Alternative Classifications

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

2903.59.90.00Lower: 3.7% vs 15.5%

If aliphatic hydrocarbon derivative

Aliphatic brominated hydrocarbons like 1-bromopropane fall under 2903.59, not aromatic.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 15.5%

If supplied as mixture with solvents

Mixtures not qualifying as chemically defined Chapter 29 compounds go to prepared chemical mixtures.

2710.19.11Higher: 25% vs 15.5%

If primarily used as solvent in mixtures

Bromobenzene-based solvent mixtures may classify under petroleum oils if solvent function predominates.
