Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing additional sulfo groups beyond 2-position
Other sulfonated hydrocarbon derivatives with different substitution patterns use separate subheadings in 2904.
If classified by nitrogen function due to impurities
Presence of nitrogen-functions could shift to later Chapter 29 headings per numerical order rule.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include salt composition analysis in COA to prove classification with parent acid; watch for moisture content affecting purity claims
• Use UN-approved packaging for corrosive sulfonates during transport
